This week in 1915, US Marines invaded Haiti beginning a brutal 19 year occupation, which killed 15,000 & returned slavery to the island. The Americans looted Haiti’s wealth, stole 100,000s of acres of land & secured harsh control over the country for US business interests. pic.twitter.com/DZifqK4uiP
