The Atlantic links to "The First and Last King of Haiti"

If you happen to read this review of Rich Benjamin's book, Talk to Me: Lessons from a Family Forged by History (which I just purchased and I'm looking forward to reading!), you might notice in the second paragraph that the reviewer, Danielle Amir Jackson, gives me and King Henry a shout-out, and she directly links to The First and Last King of Haiti, too. Woot woot!

The review, which is called "What Americans Can Learn from Haiti," is quite compelling, in fact, and it definitely makes me want to read Benjamin's book. Check it out here: https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2025/02/talk-to-me-rich-benjamin-haiti-book-review/681843/
