THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS & we can still stop it. Please call your Senator NOW & ask that they sign onto S.4814 & extend TPS for Haitians for 3 years. This will be a catastrophe for our neighbors who have been here legally!! Here's the call script! drive.google.com/file/d/1XXEs...

I want to say a bit more about our initiative to hire scholars to 3yr Research Associate positions. None of us know what the twinning of humanities research support and employment will look like in another 5(?) years. But we do know that we need it. As a matter of social and cultural health. 1/

On January 1, 1804, revolutionaries established the independent country of Haiti, the first nation to permanently ban slavery. As we begin a year engulfed by the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, it’s worth reading the Haitian Declaration of Independence in full. 🇭🇹

Original broadside printing of the Haitian Declaration of Independence. The document is titled "Liberté ou la Mort" and "Armée Indigène," and it is held by the National Archives of the United Kingdom (call number MFQ 1/184).
