"Our forefathers liberated us from the shackles of slavery. We owe it to the new generation of Haitians to help eliminate mental slavery, and negative attitudes toward the common goals of our people. Promote patriotism and self-determination, thus propelling Haiti into a modern nation and an icon to the world in fighting against oppression".
