Testimonials

What they say about TLCC

A Toussaint Louverture Cultural Center in the Haitian Community of New England represents a momentous Historical Statement. It typifies Haiti past and present embodiment of Freedom and Equality for All people of Color, not just Haitians. It also reflects the pride of our Haitian Heritage, and a point of reference where the Haitian Community can gather to socialize and discuss our future.
Dr. Eno Mondesir
Executive Health Director at the Brockton Health Board
In Boston, there are nearly 70,000 Haitian immigrants and descendants that live in our city, representing the 3rd largest population of Haitians in the US. Like many other proud immigrant communities, we want to share our rich culture with the world, but mostly we desire to preserve the things that represent the essence of our beauty, our uniqueness, and our lives as Haitian- American people. It is for this reason that we need a cultural center to share with our community and the world, all things that are uniquely Haitian - adding to the cultural tapistry of our beautifully diverse city of Boston.
Mishella Etienne-Campbell
CEO/Founder of Project TMI
The Haitian community in Boston would benefit tremendously from having the Toussaint Louverture Cultural Center ("TLCC"). The Boston community has the third largest Haitian diaspora in the United States, a cultural richness the city has been experiencing since the 1960s. The TLCC would be a landing ground and second home for every Haitian person in the city of Boston to enjoy our culture and each other in a safe space while we continue to expose others to the contributions Haitians have had in Boston and around the globe. I support this effort and want to see more buy-in from philanthropy, our government, and private citizens.
