Some people call it the original Black Lives Matter movement. Author Francie Latour from the racial justice project Wee The People takes us on a trip to one of her favorite places, Haiti. She’ll read from her book Auntie Luce’s Talking Paintings, and teach us about the heroes of the Haitian Revolution, whose rebellion inspired Black resistance movements around the world.
