Remembering Sonia
Bookmanlit joins the world community in mourning the loss of Sonia Pierre, a great champion of human rights who struggled to obtain justice for the people of her community. Ms. Pierre worked tirelessly to help protect the rights of families who worked in the bateys of the Dominican Republic. She died on Sunday, December 4th, 2011 of a heart attack in her hometown of AltaGracia in DR. She is survived by her children, Carlos, Umberto, and Manuela Solaine. Join us on Facebook in remembering Sonia and continuing her legacy of advocating to have authorities in the Dominican Republic recognize and respect the rights of Dominicans of Haitian ancestry.
