Lancement d'un livre sur l'histoire des Haïtiens au Québec

(INFO690) - Une soixantaine d'années après l'arrivée des premiers Haïtiens au Québec, un professeur de la polytechnique a décidé d'écrire sur le sujet.

Samuel Pierre, a voulu revenir avec plusieurs collaborateurs sur l'histoire des Haïtiens ici, mais surtout sur leurs réussites et leurs accomplissements.

À travers huit thèmes, il trace un bilan de ce que les Haïtiens ont apporté à leur pays d'adoption. On peut écouter M. Pierre dans l'extrait audio.

Le livre Ces Québécois venus d'Haïti sera lancé ce soir.
