At this ceremony Boukman Dutty told everyone in attendance, "The god of the white man inspires him with crime... Throw away the symbol of the god of the whites who has often caused us to weep, and listen to the voice of liberty, which speaks in the hearts of us all."

#871 -- West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty (1979) dir. Med Hondo
West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty (French: West Indies ou les Nègres marrons de la liberté) is a 1979 French-language musical drama film directed by Med Hondo.[1] The plot of the film was adapted from a play titled Les négriers (The Slavers), written by Daniel Boukman. The film is highly regarded as a landmark film in the history of African cinema as it was made with a lavish budget of US$1.35 million, making it one of the biggest budgeted African films ever to be made.[2] Against the backdrop of the colonial West Indies, which was under French imperialism,[3][4] the drama was set on a slave ship.[5] The film had its theatrical release in 1979.

Neither a Saint nor Catholic, but you could do worse than Dutty Boukman. And there's at least a rum named after him to include in a shrine.

Technicalities aside, where are you going to find a better prayer for intercession for vengeance?
Quote taken from Wikipedia attributed to Dutty Boukman during a ceremony preceding the 1791 slave revolt which eventually led to Haiti's independence reading, " ...This God who made the sun, who brings us light from above, who raises the sea, and who makes the storm rumble. That God is there, do you understand? Hiding in a cloud, He watches us, he sees all that the whites do! The God of the whites pushes them to crime, but he wants us to do good deeds. But the God who is so good orders us to vengeance. He will direct our hands, and give us help. Throw away the image of the God of the whites who thirsts for our tears. Listen to the liberty that speaks in all our hearts. — Dutty Boukman[1]" Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutty_Boukman

Good Morning; On this day in 1791, the Haitian slave revolution began under Vodou priest, Dutty Boukman. Toussaint Louverture would emerge as a brilliant military and political leader who trained former slaves in guerrilla warfare.

Enslaved Africans in Saint-Domingue, led by Dutty Boukman, held a Vodou ceremony that became a pivotal act of resistance. This gathering sparked a mass uprising against slavery, marking the beginning of the Haitian Revolution.

“Throw away the symbol of the god of the whites who has so often caused us to weep, and listen to the voice of liberty, which speaks in the hearts of us all.”
#otd #history

C.L.R. James writing in The Black Jacobins:
On the night of the 22nd a tropical storm raged, with lightning and gusts of wind and heavy showers of rain. Carrying torches to light their way, the leaders of the revolt met in an open space in the thick forests of the Morne Rouge, a mountain overlooking Le Cap. There Boukman gave the last instructions and, after Voodoo incantations and the sucking of the blood of a stuck pig, he stimulated his followers by a prayer spoken in creole, which, like so much spoken on such occasions, has remained. "The god who created the sun which gives us light, who rouses the waves and rules the storm, though hidden in the clouds, he watches us. He sees all that the white man does. The god of the white man inspires him with crime, but our god calls upon us to do good works. Our god who is good to us orders us to revenge our wrongs. He will direct our arms and aid us. Throw away the symbol of the god of the whites who has so often caused us to weep, and listen to the voice of liberty, which speaks in the hearts of us all.*

Haïti commémore ce vendredi le 235e anniversaire de la cérémonie du « Bois Caïman », organisée en août 1791 dans la région de Morne-Rouge, sous la direction de Boukman Dutty et de la mambo Cécile Fatiman. Cet événement historique est considéré comme l’un des grands symboles de la mémoire collective haïtienne et est associé au soulèvement des esclaves qui allait conduire à la lutte pour la liberté et, finalement, à l’indépendance d’Haïti.
