The Haitian Americans United Inc. is pleased to present these two events in celebration of Haiti’s history and legacy as well as bring together members of the Haitian-American community and friends of Haiti during Haitian Heritage Month.
The main objectives of these events are to: 1) highlight the Haitian culture by providing a better understanding and visual representation of the Haitian way of life to a wide range of audience in Massachusetts, and 2) promote community building / activism. The parade will feature student delegations from school, colleges, and universities, youth groups, state and city officials, community leaders, marching bands, religious, community, and social-cultural organizations, etc. In part, this parade is made possible due to the support from mayor Thomas M. Menino, State Representative Marie St. Fleur, other elected officials, as well as, community leaders and organizations.
