About

Graphic Novel:It Takes a Village, Part 1

The Haitian remembers that when he was a child, Haiti "was dying, strangling in the grip of the Duvaliers". The leader of the country, Jean-Claude Duvalier, keeps a private militia called the Tonton Macoutes, who terrorize Guillame's village.

Notes

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.
