Toussaint Louverture, which proved to be the only successful slave insurrection in world history. The remarkable event led to the establishment of the first black republic and provided inspiration for anti-slavery movements in the United States and all around the world. The Haitian revolution represents the only successful slave revolution in history; it created the world’s first Black republic-traumatizing Southern planters, inspiring U.S. Blacks, and invigorating anti-slavery activist world-wide. At the forefront of the rebellion was General Toussaint Louverture, an ex-slave whose genius was admired by allies and enemies alike. The account of the rise and fall of the “black George Washington” – Leader of a slave insurrection that shook three colonial powers, established the first black, republic, and produced the first constitution banning racial discrimination – reveals a complex figure whose revolutionary ideals of freedom and brotherhood also resulted in vengeful destruction. The program details Louverture’s origins and how the uprising unfolded, describing especially how political upheaval in France affected the struggle for independence, until Napoleon’s wrath ended both his leadership and his life. The insight of historians, artists, and ex-members of the Haitian government help to bolster plentiful primary source illustrations and gripping reenactments. ONE HOUR IN LENGTH
