Marché Cluny - Cap-Haitien, Haiti
Built by President Florvil Hippolite in 1890
Burned down - January 24-25, 2026
The site where Marché Cluny stands today was originally a marshy area during colonial times. It was drained and developed into a public square known as Place Cluny in 1764. It became a location where enslaved Africans were sold during the period when Cap-Français (the colonial name for Cap-Haïtien) was a major port in the Atlantic slave trade.
Afterwards, a market operated there in the open air to relieve overcrowding in the older market at Place-d’Armes.. Built by President Florvil Hyppolite, a native of Cap-Haitien in 1890, Marche Cluny became the commercial hub of the City until today.
MARCHE CLUNY MUST BE REBUILT!!!
As people flee gang violence in the Port-au-Prince region, hundreds of new young learners are arriving monthly in Saint-Marc, Haiti to the MHFC school. It is struggling to accommodate their needs and provide a quality education. A new classroom is necessary!

HAITI
First In Freedom
In 1791, fearless Black slaves in this Caribbean French colony unleashed the first ever and only successful Black slave revolution in history, the Haitian Revolution.
In 1804, rebel troops vanquished France's Napoleon Bonaparte's most elite troops sent to quelch the rebellion, and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the leader of the revolution founded the nation of Haiti as a refuge for freedom, and human rights for all people.
Haiti thus became the first nation in the world to ban the practice of slavery by law, the first Black republic in the world and also the second republic founded in the Americas after the U.S. The United States did not ban slavery until 1863, some 59 years later.
Haitians then marched on and freed their next-door neighbors, the Dominican Republic, from Spain and banned slavery there as well. Later, Haiti also helped free Bolivia, Venezuela, Panama, Cuba, and other enslaved peoples in the region.
