Yesterday was Independence Day in the Dominican Republic.
Here’s the deal as I know it…for more information consult something official.

Anyway, in 1844, the Dominican kicked the Haitians out and established their own country.
In the early 1930’s Trujillo took over. He didn’t like the Haitians very much. He managed to slaughter thousands of Haitians in a genocide that took place in the Northern part of the country. They lined up all the people and if you couldn’t say the word Perejil (parsley) by rolling the “r”, they killed you.
When this became known, Trujillo had to pay thousands of dollars in reparations to Haitians at the behest of the US Government.
Now the Haitians are gardenders and construction workers.
They used to run things here.
Take note.
