late entry

Sun., 11 May

The opening of HAITI THROUGH DOCUMENTS opened last night. I didn’t get there until I got off work but it was well received. The show looked really good. The person I was supposed to be working with didn’t show up. I figured she wouldn’t. She was supposed to get me some plexiglass frames used for photographs although they were being used to show historical letters. They were sent to the gallery in such an inept state that I had to take them apart and resposition almost half of them. Of course, it was another waste of time. And, it was time we didn’t have much of at this point. These were letters written by Toussaint l’Overture. Links below are to the month’s activities and the Haitian leader.

The Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture, the Negro Patriot of Hayti: Comprising an Account of the Struggle for Liberty in the Island, and a Sketch of Its History to the Present Period. By Rev. John Relly Beard, 1800-1876

Toussaint l’Overture

Obviously, this past week has been a busy one with the exhibition but, I need to plan for a trip to St. Lucie River by next weekend. I need to be focused about what I want to do while there, which should be 2-3 days if I can afford to. I’ll figure that out in the next few days.
