Amid continual disparagement and fears of mass deportation of Haitians and other immigrants by President-Elect Donald J. Trumps, Haitians in New York in general remain steadfast in focusing on values that they say unite all Americans.
“As a proud Haitian-American and a firm believer in the power of democracy, I recognize that elections reflect the will of the people and that, in a democracy, we sometimes experience outcomes we may not have hoped for,” New York City Council Member Mercedes Narcisse, the Haitian-born representative for the 46th Council District in Brooklyn, told Caribbean Life on Monday.
