A famous person
It's a story about a famous person who is no longer alive. The famous person that I studied about when I was in high school was Emperor Jean Jacques Dessalines. He lived in the 1800's in Haiti.Because of him, Haiti is now a free country. The first black country which obtained his freedom. Emperor Jean Jacques Dessalines directed the Haitian people to revolt against slavery from the french colonies. In january 1804 ,we became independent. He built the nation that we have today. All I can say, Emperor Jean Jacques Dassalines thank you for what you did for us and we will never forget you.

I hope he's reading your blog! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of Dessalines. Americans don't know enough about the history of other countries.
