The 87-year old actor has filed a new lawsuit against Universal Studios regarding profits owed to him for his work on the 1976 TV series, Quincy, M.E.Īs you may recall, Klugman sued last year because the studio refused to provide him with a copy of his Quincy, M.E. Quincy alter-ego, Jack Klugman is refusing to give up on a case. One of these organizations are The Haitian Round Table.Like his Dr. If you're looking for something on a more professional level, there are organizations you can become a member of to unite with other Haitian professionals and come together to make a difference. Joining Haitian student-body groups in your school are great ways to network with other Haitians and remain knowledgeable on current events and issues. France agreed to cancel Haiti's debt since last year, and this news is now getting to me! I heard about the dismissal of Haiti's lawsuit with the U.N on SnapChat! I've got some homework to do! If listening to Radio Soliel isn't your flavor, do some reading! Haitian Newspapers are available at several bodegas, as well as small Haitian-owned businesses. If you're waiting for media outlets to share immediate news about Haiti, you'll be waiting forever. It's hard to know what's going on without staying well connected. Use what we've obtained here, and bring it there. It's up to us to show Haitians what they're sacrifices have done for us. We stand with our hard earned titles on behalf of every katye and lakou, and every natural-born hustler who wakes up at the crack of dawn and travels downhill to sell whatever they can to make a life for themselves. As Haitians, we cannot turn our backs our Ayiti Cherie. We need to use our gifts to help Ayiti. It's time we educate Haitians for Haiti. While it might look like its for them to boast to all the people they know , it's for Haiti. I understand why our parents pushed us to be lawyers, doctors, nurses, and engineers. Haiti has many problems but we have many solutions. I'm not just talking to you, I'm talking to myself. It's one thing to wear the flag, go to the parade, and enjoy the culture but its time for us to give back. Our parents brought us here pou'n ka profite na peyi etrange sa (so we can move ahead in this strange land). If you're a first-generation Haitian like me (both parents were born in Haiti but you were not), you know that we owe it to Haiti to pay homage to those who came before us and those to come. These are all great deeds, but its more about representation. This is not to negate the great things people have done for Haiti: earlier this year actor Leonardo DiCaprio helped to raise 7 million dollars for Haiti, Karruche Tran and Quincy Brown paid a visit to Haiti with Smile Train, to help people living with cleft lip who are unable to pay for medical expenses, and Marshawn Lynch spent his retirement time in Haiti along with several other NFL players to help rebuild an elementary school, host a mobile medical clinic and a football camp through Feed The Children in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. We need to start rolling our sleeves and doing the work because the last time we got help from moun deyo yo, we lost 9,000+ lives. We’ve been beaten, cheated, knocked down, and killed but we are still here. What was once a short exchange between the women of the countryside of Haiti, should now be seen as a slogan of power and resistance. The same people who came to help with our recovery, were the same ones who caused additional suffering and they are doing everything to avoid penalization. It is said that it might have been one individual traveling from Nepal to have brought such a catastrophic disease to my country who never dealt with Cholera ever in its history. Cholera claimed an estimated 9,000 lives, and infected an additional 700,000 people not too long after a devastating earthquake took the lives of over 200,000 people. Cholera is an infectious disease that causes severe dehydration and can kill in as little as a few hours if gone untreated. Last year, a lawsuit filed against the The United Nations was dismissed - even after they admitted to unknowingly bringing Cholera to Haiti. An unsanitary U.N camp for “peacekeepers” negligently allowed cholera-contaminated sewage to seep into a nearby stream who’s waters flow directly into Haiti’s largest river, Artibonite.
