Like many, we were devastated by the loss of the Oloffson. Please help us remember Haiti’s cultural, musical, artistic, literary & intellectual hub in a positive light by sharing your happy memories of a time well spent while staying at/visiting the hotel.

This is absolutely devastating news. Here at the Haiti Support Group we are deeply saddened by the senseless and terrible obliteration of the beloved Oloffson hotel.
This is shattering. The Oloffson wasn't just a hotel. Not even just a landmark or historic site. It was a spiritual home for thousands of people over the years, Haitian and foreigner, including me.
Hotel Oloffson is gone. The iconic Port-au-Prince gingerbread was set alight and burned to ash last night. #Haiti

An absolutely appalling act of bullying and cowardice. We stand in solidarity with our Haitian brothers and sisters and all those impacted by this atrocious decision. Shame on Trump and his vile administration. #Ayiti #Haiti

The apparent fact that the pope’s maternal grandfather was born in Haiti with both African and European roots and chose to pass in Chicago as white people would have made this a far more interesting story too.

But no one asks me.

April 17 marks the 200th anniversary of the Haiti indemnity agreement. In March, tennis star Naomi Osaka, who is of Haitian descent, added her voice to the chorus in a tweet wondering when France would pay Haiti back.

200 years ago, France extorted Haiti in one of history’s greatest heists – and Haitians want reparations
After being exploited for decades by France, Haiti ended up forking over huge sums of money to its former colonizer. Now, the Caribbean nation’s calls for restitution are becoming harder to ignore.

For Plough Monday, the traditional start of the agricultural year, here's William Wilberforce in 1818 sending two wholly unprepared Suffolk ploughmen to the Kingdom of Haiti as an aid project. It didn't end brilliantly.
