🇭🇹🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes. Preserving Their Legacy.
Savannah, Georgia | October 9–11, 2026
The Haitian American Historical Society (HAHS) is on its way to Savannah, Georgia, for a meaningful weekend of remembrance, reflection, and historical commemoration.
Tomorrow, Friday, October 9, we are honored to join the Coastal Heritage Society for its annual Battlefield Memorial March and Remembrance Ceremony, commemorating the brave soldiers who fought in the historic 1779 Battle of Savannah.
Among those who answered the call were the courageous Haitian soldiers of the Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue, whose contributions remain an important chapter in both Haitian and American history.
Throughout this commemorative weekend, we will also pay tribute at the Haitian Monument in Savannah, honoring the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of those who came before us.
For HAHS, this annual gathering represents more than remembering the past. It is about preserving historical truth, strengthening the bonds between our communities, and ensuring that the contributions of Haitian soldiers are recognized, respected, and passed on to future generations.
