Dutty Boukman was a phenomenal leader in the Haitian Revolution. His resilient and rebellious attitude lead a large group of slaves to rebellion. Thus began the Haitian Revolution at Bois Caïman in August of 1791. Although he was enlaved, Boukman was educated. He taught other slaves how to read. He believed that each slave was a worthy man, and every worthy man, deserved an education and most importantly freedom. Dutty Boukman, as well as many other slaves refused to believe that slavery and bo***ge would lead to a prominent future.

During the ceremony at Bois Caïman, Dutty Boukman was said to have made this prayer to God;

"Bon Dje ki fè la tè. Ki fè soley ki klere nou enro. Bon Dje ki soulve lanmè. Ki fè gronde loray. Bon Dje nou ki gen zorey pou tande. Ou ki kache nan niaj. Kap gade nou kote ou ye la. Ou we tout sa blan fè nou sibi. Dje blan yo mande krim. Bon Dje ki nan nou an vle byen fè. Bon Dje nou an ki si bon, ki si jis, li ordone vanjans. Se li kap kondui branou pou nou ranpote la viktwa. Se li kap ba nou asistans. Nou tout fet pou nou jete potre dje Blan yo ki swaf dlo lan zye. Koute vwa la libète kap chante lan kè nou."

Although, he knew the consequences, Dutty Boukman was an inspiring activist who fought for justice and for freedom. He was beheaded early on during the Haitian Revolution. Dutty Boukman is remembered today as a warrior who pioneered the Haitian Revolution. He left a legacy; No man is too small to fight for justice and freedom.

There are around 200 million people identifying themselves as being of African descent live in the Americas. Many millions more live in other parts of the world, outside of the African continent.

Whether as descendants of the victims of the transatlantic slave trade or as more recent migrants, they constitute some of the poorest and most marginalized groups. Studies and findings by international and national bodies demonstrate that people of African descent still have limited access to quality education, health services, housing and social security.

In many cases, their situation remains largely invisible, and insufficient recognition and respect has been given to the efforts of people of African descent to seek redress for their present condition. They all too often experience discrimination in their access to justice, and face alarmingly high rates of police violence, together with racial profiling.

The , proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 68/237 and to be observed from 2015 to 2024, provides a solid framework for the United Nations, Member States, civil society and all other relevant actors to join together with people of African descent and take effective measures for the implementation of the programme of activities in the spirit of recognition, justice and development.

"About 20 years ago, I took a leap of faith and started my first business, Leffall Employment Agency. I was both excited and afraid. "Am I enough?", was the question I continuously pondered. I appeared confident, but on the inside I was terrified that others would think I had no idea what I was doing. This lack of confidence cost me everything. A mere six months after starting my business, I filed for bankruptcy and lost all my material possessions including my home..."
