The First and Last King of Haiti: The Rise and Fall of Henry Christophe: Jim Herlihy, host of The San Francisco Experience, talks with author Marlene Daut

With everything going on in the world right now, I truly enjoy talking to people who are eager to read about Haiti beyond the headlines. It is so very gratifying to have conversations with those who are learning, many for the first time, about the deep connection of Haitian history to the United States and to watch in real time as they come to recognize and understand the global significance of the Haitian Revolution, which resulted in Haiti becoming the first independent state in the modern world to permanently abolish slavery. The Haitian Revolution was truly of world-historical consequence, and it should be taught in every classroom.

Thank you so much to Jim Herlihy, host of the podcast The San Francisco Experience, for having a curious, open, and inquisitive mind, and for reading "The First and Last King of Haiti" so carefully.
