Haiti Came to South Korea's Rescue in 1950 and Helped Other Nations
By Smith Georges
New York - Haiti helped South Korea with Military and Financial Supports in 1950 during the Korean War. The Ambassador of South Korea revealed that during the Veteran's Day Parade in New York City on November 11, 2010.
History records that The Korean War began on June 25, 1950. Haiti was one of the first countries to assist the Republic of Korea, which is known today as South Korea. It was a military conflict (1950--armistice, 1953)between the Republic of Korea, that was supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which was supported by People's Republic of China (PRC), with air support from the Soviet Union. An armistice was signed on 27 July 1953. The war was a result of the political division of Korea by agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War. The Korean peninsula had been ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. In 1945, following the surrender of Japan, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th Parallel, with United States troops occupying the southern part and Soviet troops occupying the northern part.
The first inhabitants of the island of Haiti (Ayiti) were the Arawaks, theTainos, the Caribs and the Ciboneys. In 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived with the Spanish expedition and introduced slavery to the Caribbean. In 1503 the Spanish brought the first enslaved Africans to the Caribbean region after the Indians were decimated due to diseases and hard labor imposed upon them by the colonists.
The Haitians produced the world's only successful slave revolution in 1791. A revolution that led to their independence in 1804. From 1804 to present, there have been Haitian King, Emperors and Presidents. After suffering cruel, inhuman and barbaric treatment in the hands of their white oppressors, the Haitians rose up and fought bloody battles to defeat colonialism and imperialism.
Haitian Hero Toussaint Louverture defeated the Spanish, the British, and the French (Napoleonic army). The Haitians gained their freedom through self-determination. The Haitians are strong, proud and resilient people. They produced amazing accomplishments during the time of slavery by leaving their indelible imprints profoundly inscribed in the annals of world history.
In January 1804, they declared their independence. In the 18th century, the Atlantic stage was shared with three democratic revolutions: the American Revolution (1776), the French Revolution (1789) and the Haitian Revolution 1791-1804).

Haiti 1950 le centre d'art by haitian history channel
The centre d'art de Port-au-Prince in Haiti, was founded in 1944 by Dewitt Peters.An American who went to Haiti to teach english.
During its thirteen years in existence, the centre d'art has given an equal opportunity to several hundred individuals,the great majority were from the lower class.
A few of them have seized the opportunity, becoming in the process good and individualistic artists and greatly improving their social and economic positions.Men like Hector Hyppolite,Castera Bazile and Philome Obin have all been given support by the centre d'art.
The fact that the larger percentage of these artists came from the lower or submerged class has been the greatest contribution of the Centre d'Art to Haitian culture and to Haitian society.No Copyright Infringement intended. I DO NOT OWN THIS VIDEO

England faces the United States on day two of the World Cup in South Africa.
In their only previous World Cup match back in 1950 the US underdogs beat the English team 1-0.
It is considered one of the greatest sporting upsets of all-time.
Joe Gaetjens, a Haitian-American, scored the decisive US goal, but when he returned to his native Haiti, he disappeared after being discredited by the government.
And 60 years later, it is still not known what happened to him.
