In 1934, the Republic of Haiti celebrated its 130th anniversary as an independent nation. That same year, another sort of Haitian independence occurred, as the United States ended nearly two decades of occupation. In the first comprehensive political history of post-occupation Haiti, historian Matthew Smith argues that the period from 1934 until the rise of dictator François Papa Doc Duvalier in 1957 constituted modern Haitis greatest moment of political promise. He will explore this theme in a lecture based on his recently published book titled Red and Black in Haiti: Radicalism, Conflict, and Political Change, 1934-1957. The lecture is sponsored by Florida International Universitys Latin American and Caribbean Center, School of International and Public Affairs, and Digital Library of the Caribbean, as well as the Haitian Heritage Museum. The event is part of LACCs 12th Annual Haitian Summer Institute.

Avril Webster Off We Go
Little did Limerick based Avril Webster know when she created books at her kitchen table to help her disabled son Stephen cope with everyday activities, that they would lead to a publishing contract for a series of six books .in just over a year from those homemade versions, her first series is now published, with another six to follow in 2008.
Seeing the benefit Stephen was getting from the homemade books,Avril set about adapting them to be suitable for Stephen’s classmates .With the help of illustrator David Ryley ,whose close family friend Christia attends St.Vincent’s Special School ,Lisnagry with Avril’s son Stephen,Avril created the Going Swimming book. Things took off from there.
The Off We Go! Storybooks explain ‘what comes next ‘ on an everyday outing ,like going to the Dentist etc(simple everyday issues we take for granted but can be very stressful for someone who has child with a disability, society has improved but not to a degree of total acceptability as of yet) and therefore reassure the child and encourage cooperation in each situation .By reading the book together at home and preparing a child for a new task or event ,they can manage the stages more easily ,ultimately reducing stress for themselves and those around them.
Each book contains colourful illustrations and is 12 pages long, a length recommended by Speech and Language therapists. The simple text uses basic vocabulary which can be easily understood and with the pictures it will help give structure and routine to children of different ages and abilities.
Avril Webster lives in Limerick, Ireland, she and her husband Robert (an ardent Liverpool fan), have three children, their eldest son Stephen has a moderate to severe intellectual disability.Avril has been a full time — carer for Stephen since 1998, 24 x 7, I call it a fact that our current government need to recognise more because this nation has so many carers. Avril and her family have strived to give their son Stephen the best in life; they have already made a good start today for him and for so many others out there with a disability. We wish them well in the future, it’s a difficult road.
