On this day in 1804, Haiti declared its independence after a slave uprising turned into a revolution that crushed the French colonizers.
After kicking out the French the former colony was renamed "Haiti", the Indigenous Arawak name for the island, and would become the first Black republic in the world as well as the first nation in the Western Hemisphere that abolished slavery. -
Really liked this podcast episode with Culture as Code. https://a16z.simplecast.com/episodes/culture-as-code-rerun-eL9hlgGW really liked how Ben Horowitz talked about Haiti's revolution & Toussaint Louverture's leadership. I first read about it in C.L.R. James's The Black Jacobins. More recently in the Revolutions podcast. It is not often that you hear business leaders talking about his leadership though.
