PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI, November 13 — Sign reads “Brooklyn to Port-au-Prince: Professors Unite to Smash Racism!”
About 12,000 students and workers took the streets for a two-day teachers’ strike! The entire demonstration was carried by the energy and vitality of the students. The international solidarity was vibrant. We stopped in front of schools calling on students and teachers to join the march. It was militant, and resulted in a battle between the MINUSTAH troops and students. (See next issue for full story.)
