SUMMARY:Builder of the Next World: The Rise and Fall of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe
DESCRIPTION:CSAAD Africa~Diaspora Forum Series\nDr. Marlene Daut\nYale University \nThursday\, October 16\, 2025\n5:00 pm – 6:30 pm\n20 Cooper SQ\, 5th FL\, Room 503\nNew York City\, NY 10003\nZoom link: https://nyu.zoom.us/j/91031695364 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSlave. Revolutionary. King. Taken together\, these words describe only one man: Henry Christophe I of Haiti. Born in 1767 to an enslaved mother on the island of Grenada\, he first fought to overthrow the British in North America\, before helping enslaved Africans in Saint-Domingue\, as Haiti was then called\, to gain freedom from slavery. After the Revolution\, he offered to lead independent Haiti and became the country’s first and only king. But it all came to a sudden and tragic end when after only thirteen years of ruling\, Haiti’s King Henry I shot himself in the heart\, some say with a silver bullet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor accommodations\, please contact the Program Manager for the Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora at ac8829@nyu.edu.  \n\nWatch Recording Here\nBook Publication Site\n\nBio:\n \nMarlene L. Daut is Professor of French\, Black Studies\, and History at Yale University.
