Today’s Holiday:
Haiti Battle of Vertières’ Day
This official public holiday memorializes the last battle for Haitian independence on November 18, 1803, in which Haitian rebels defeated the French colonialists. The victory at Vertières, near the present-day port city of Cap-Haïtien, signified the end of a long freedom struggle that stretched out over two major phases. Less than two months after the battle, Haiti became the first black independent republic.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch
