Sugar, Blood and the Rise of Haiti (The First Black Nation to Free Itself from Slavery)

Haiti, the first Black nation to win its freedom through blood and fire, was punished for daring to break the chains of colonialism. In Sugar, Blood, and Haiti, J.C. Faulk takes you from the revolutionary past to the sugar fields of today, revealing how colonial powers, debt, and betrayal have kept Haiti under siege for centuries.

 

This episode connects brutal history, personal witness, and resistance that refuses to die. It’s about colonial nations, and their attempt to crush the life out of a nation that secured it's freedom a half century before the Emancipation Proclamation in the U.S.

 

Haiti is one of the most profound nations in human history, a people who keep rising no matter how much the world tries to bury them.
