	==Notes==		==Notes==
			* Both François and Jean-Claude were considered brutal dictators. They used the [[Tonton Macoutes]] to solidify their power.
			* Some estimate that up to 30,000 Haitians were killed under François's reign.
			* François served 14 years in office from 1957 until his death in 1971.
			* Jean-Claude took over his father's position at age 19 and served for 15 years as head of state.
			* Following a civil uprising and pressure from the Reagan administration to renounce his rule, Jean-Claude was unceremoniously exiled to France.
	* Given [[the Haitian]]'s young age in [[1992]] (''[[Company Man]]''), it is likely that the events of the ''[[It Takes a Village]]'' series take place in the early 1980s or late 1970s, and the Duvalier to whom [[the Haitian]] refers is Jean-Claude. In an [[interview (Joe Kelly)\|interview]], [[Joe Kelly]] said the story takes place "about 20 years ago, give or take."		* Given [[the Haitian]]'s young age in [[1992]] (''[[Company Man]]''), it is likely that the events of the ''[[It Takes a Village]]'' series take place in the early 1980s or late 1970s, and the Duvalier to whom [[the Haitian]] refers is Jean-Claude.

			* François often took on the guise of [[Wikipedia:Baron Samedi\|Baron Samedi]], the [[Loa]] of the dead who stood at the [[crossroads]] between the earth and spirit worlds.

			==Trivia==
			* François was often called "Papa Doc", and Jean-Claude was nicknamed "Baby Doc".
			* In 1983, Pope John Paul II visited Jean-Claude's country and declared, "Something must change here."
			* 15 years after François's death, a mob of Haitians set out to beat the deceased leader's corpse. They were unsuccessful in finding the body, so they beat the body of one of his supporters instead.
