HAITIANHISTORY: On May 29,1939, at a time when many countries had adopted a "none is too many" policy in regards to Jewish immigration, Sténio Vincent, then president of Haiti, issued a special decree known as the "Décret-loi du 29 mai 1939, Octroyant la nationalité in absentia" [Legislative Decree of May 1939, Granting Citizenship in Absentia], conceding citizenship to Jewish refugees to Hait. While the impact of the decree was overall limited, many Jews were able to escape Europe, most notably Germany, and move to Haiti before relocating.
Though some Haitian historians remain puzzled about Vincent’s exact motives, the decree nevertheless represented a surprising gesture, especially considering Haiti’s historical disposition towards foreigners.
The Centre International de Documentation et d’Information Haïtienne, Caribéenne et Afro-canadienne [CIDIHCA] [located in Quebec, Canada] in collaboration with the City of Montreal, the Government of Canada and The Canada Council for the Arts celebrated little known facts about Haitian history and Jewish presence in Haiti in a 2014 exhibition entitled "L’un pour l’autre" [One for the other].[*Image credit and information from the CIDIHCA.

MARTHA STA. BARBARA: Subversive is quite the term for the range of meals offered in this restaurant. Filipino classics were given a twist. The meals have a Creole appeal in terms of the taste: buttery yet light, well- defined and flavorful.

Another starting point for where and when #AsianAmericanHistory begins is the Manila Galleon Trade (1565-1815) that linked the Philippines and Mexico and contributed to early Chinese settlements in Mexico and Filipino ones in Louisiana.— Catherine Ceniza Choy (@CCenizaChoy) January 26, 2018
