Revisiting: Haiti and the United States

In this episode join the Round Room as we revisit the current situation going on between Haiti and the United States. Amidst political turmoil back home, Haitians have kept immigrating to the United States in search of a better life. This has led to push back and racism from certain sectors of the American media. Join us as we revisit the history between Haiti and the US and the current issues facing Haitian immigrants.
