This plaque marks the Kòmye plantation in the mountains of Gran Rivyè di Nò, where Janjak Desalin was born in 1758. Same plantation where Toya, the warrior Agoji from Dahomey who helped raise Desalin, was also enslaved. Kòmye is in Grand Rivyè di Nò. About an hour walking distance from the center (bouk) parish of Gran Rivyè di Nò in the Northern Department of Ayiti. -- Èzili Dantò, #FreeHaytiMovement, September 20, 2025
“I only want the brave to stay with me. Those who wish to become once again French slaves can make their way out of this fort. Those on the contrary who wish to die as free men may take their place around me” — Janjak Desalin (Jean Jacques Dessalines), Hayti’s founding father, speaking at Crête-à-Pierrot, March 11, 1802
“We must, with one last act of national authority, forever assure the empire of liberty in the country of our birth; we must take any hope of re-enslaving us away from the inhuman government that for so long kept us in the most humiliating torpor. In the end, we must live independent or die." –Janjak Desalin (Jean-Jacques Dessalines – September 20, 1758- Oct. 17, 1806)
