Liberté or Death: Teaching the Haitian Revolution

12 November 2024 at 7 PM ET/ 4 PM PT

The Haitian Revolution was one of the most radical events in world history. It was the only successful revolt by enslaved people in the modern era and completely transformed the nineteenth century Atlantic world. How can we convey the significance of the Haitian Revolution to our students? In this free workshop, Bram Hubbell will discuss how to teach the Haitian Revolution in a world historical context. Participants will learn about Haitian primary sources that help students learn how Haitians understood their revolution.
