“We should all celebrate Haitian Flag Day”

““I’m Haitian and I’m Black,” said Boston City Councilor At-Large Ruthzee Louijeune, the first Haitian American elected to Boston City Council. She hosted the annual Haitian Flag Day breakfast at City Hall on Friday morning.

“There is this global identity of Blackness and there is so much that connects us. Unfortunately, so much of it is heaviness, but so much of it is beauty, too,” she added.”
