I believe this was published on Diario Libre, October 31, 2005. It
seems to represent a Haitian teacher telling his Haitian students that Rafael
Leónidas Trujillo -at the left- was "very bad" whereas Leonel
Fernandez is to be considered "good,
good".
The banner mocks Haitians' accent and use of
the Spanish language. Also mocks Leonel Fernandez and his so-called
'soft-hand' policy towards Haiti and people of Haitian origin in the
Dominican Republic.
Reality is that under Leonel
Fernandez's presidential rule, thousands of Dominican children of
Haitian origin do not have access to an official birth registration and
their nationality rights are hindered in disregard of the Dominican
Constitution. Just imagine what other human rights are
jeopardized.
Given the context, Harold Priego-the
author, has depicted caricatures of Haitians, instead of Haitian
characters; he has frequently done so in banners published on a
newspaper in the Dominican Republic (Diario Libre). Luckily,
I am a free person
and have the right to use this digital reproduction to criticize his
work.
