In the midst of a historic political crisis in Haiti last February, Boston-based Haitian Americans United Inc. (HAU) and State Representative Marie St. Fleur convened an emergency town meeting at Codman Square's Church of the Nazarene. St. Fleur and the panelists addressed a sizeable crowd, including the likes of Reverend Eugene Rivers, Senator Jarret Barrios, Reverend Paul Jones of the Massachusetts Black Legislative Caucus and representatives from the offices of U.S. Senator John Kerry and state Senator Jack Hart, among others. Held on Feb. 25, St. Fleur and others called for United Nations peacekeeping troops to ensure public order and disarm both pro and anti Aristide agitators.
