Notes:: "That is the difference between the parade in Haiti and the parade in America. Here - it unites us," said [Wilner Auguste]. "I believe that if we can live with the idea of being united for one day then that idea can carry on throughout the rest of our days." The main objectives of the Annual Haitian Heritage Month celebrations, Auguste says, are to "highlight the Haitian culture by providing a better understanding and visual representation of the Haitian way of life to a wide range of authences."
