Communiqué
Two years after the earthquake which devastated the world’s first Black Republic, the Haiti Support Project (HSP) led a diverse delegation of thirty-eight(38) business, faith, labor, civil rights/human rights leaders, journalists and educators to Haiti to assess the status of the recovery and reconstruction; establish constructive channels of communication and working relations with the Government of President Michel Joseph Martelly; and review the progress of projects sponsored or supported by HSP. Many of the participants were first time visitors to Haiti. Some described it as a “life changing” experience. We were particularly honored to have distinguished educator and leader Queen Mother Dr. Adelaide Sanford be part of the delegation. Everywhere we went, Queen Mother Sanford was immediately embraced by the Haitian people as she spoke …

January 16, 2012Haiti Support Project Leads “Pilgrimage” Delegation to Haiti
Group to Assess Progress of Recovery/Reconstruction
And Promote Investment in Cultural-Historical Tourism
Statement by Dr. Ron Daniels, President, Institute of the Black World 21st Century, Founder, Haiti Support Project
In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose birthday we commemorate in the U.S. with a National Holiday January 16, we believe an injury to our sisters and brothers anywhere in the world is an injury to all. Therefore, January 17-21, 2012 (two years after the devastating earthquake) the Haiti Support Project (HSP) will lead a delegation of thirty-seven (38) African Americans and Haitian Americans to Haiti to assess the progress of the recovery/reconstruction and explore ways to engage people of African descent from the U.S. in the process of building the new Haiti. This is not a new mission for HSP. Since 1995 we have been dedicated to …

Pilgrimage and Assessment Delegation
October 7-11, 2010
Prepared by Dr. Ron Daniels
October 7-11, the Haiti Support Project (HSP) led its third Delegation to Haiti since the fateful earthquake of January 12th. The atmosphere was in marked contrast to HSP´s Third Annual Pilgrimage in October of 2009 when there were signs of a much brighter future for Haiti and its people. A year ago there were clear indicators that after a period of political stability, relative security and greater transparency and accountability by the government, conditions were ripe for modest economic growth and new levels of international investment. There was optimism in the air. Everything changed after January 12th. Now, with the assistance of the international community, Haiti´s fragile governmental and private institutions face the awesome challenge of lifting the people and nation out of the abyss of one of the most devastating catastrophies ever …

Post Haiti Crisis
February 18, 2011The Haiti Support Project´s Position on the Continuing Crisis In Haiti
The Haiti Support Project (HSP) has consistently maintained that the U.S. orchestrated ouster of Jean Bertrand Aristide, the first democratically elected President in Haiti´s history, and the subsequent disruption of constitutional rule was morally and politically wrong and destructive of the process of building a culture of democracy. Under growing pressure at home and within the international community, President Aristide had accepted the CARICOM proposal for power sharing and a functional division of labor between the President and Prime Minister. The CARICOM proposal provided for monitoring by the international community to ensure that all of its provisions would be adhered to, with the understanding that actions against President Aristide would be forthcoming should he renege on his commitment.
The CARICOM proposal was also temporarily embraced by the U.S., France, Canada and the European Union. Despite the fact that President …
