Just in case people have not seen this series on Haiti yet, I thought to bring it to your attention.

Like Nikole Hannah-Jones’ 1619 project, NYTimes journalists have completed another project – on Haiti. I cannot, possibly, summarize this work. Truly understanding this story requires the reading of every word. Every photo must be seen, to be believed.

While I am not given to fancy language, ineffable is the only word I know for this story. I am left to hope that freeing history, will someday free us all.
