RECEIVED FROM
MICHELLE ST. URBAIN
MONTRÉAL, CANADA Bonjour Mr. Fombrun, It has been a while since I first sent you an e-mail. Please know that I am with you everyday at 10:00 a.m. at the office in Montréal, with my tea, waiting to read you. And I get very, very fustrated when I open my computer and there is nothing received from CARL’S CORNER. I know,how dare I get upset if you are not there, but the day is never the same. All my friends are feeling the same when we talk about your site, at lunch time. The reason of my e-mail is that I mentioned to my colleageus at work, what I read about Charles Dessalines and Eva Gardner on CARL’S CORNER, and the discussion lasted a whole week, because they are doubting me, and I can’t find the copy of your article on that subject. I remember it was around March or April. Can you help me prove it to them, since they do not believe me ? Please help ! May God bless you, and I love you and everything about you, although I don’t get to see your wife too often on CARL’S CORNER. She must be a GREAT WOMAN. WHY ? Because BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL MAN , THERE IS A W O M A N . THANK-YOU, GLADYS Love, Michelle.

HAITIAN FLAG DAY
FANM
DOWNTOWN MIAMI
A SHORT LECTURE GIVEN BY CARL FOMBRUN, GUEST SPEAKER, AT “FANM” ASSOCIATION, DOWNTOWN MIAMI, ON WEDNESDSAY 23 MAY, 2007.
SUBJECT : THE HAITIAN FLAG
Thank you Martine Theodore, COO – Chief Operating Officer of the FANM (HAITIAN WOMEN OF MIAMI) for your kind and flattering invitation. Again, thank you very much for having me here, you people of FANM, you are the real stars and the future of Haiti, at home and abroad. I feel truly honored to be here today, with Miami Commissioner Audrey Edmondson, and many other personalities present to celebrate and commemorate Haitian Flag Day in the year 2007.
I have a special thought for FANM’S CEO, HAITIAN WOMEN OF MIAMI and president of the FLORIDA IMMIGRATION COALITION, my friend and prominent activist Marleine Bastien, who just testified for the first time before the U.S. Congress, pressing for legal remedy for Haitians.
This will be a short lecture. I do not wish to bore you with too many facts of history, but I will try and stay in the essence of the subject, the story of the Haitian Flag and what it means to us. On Friday May 17 2002, I remember attending a similar function in the city of North Miami where the Haitian-American mayor Joe Celestin was the host, with also the mayor of Miami, Manny Diaz. Time is marching on.
The Haitian Flag...... 52 years ago, to be exact in 1955, in my brief tenure as an Attache to the Haitian Embassy in Panama and in In-Charge of Consulate Affairs in Costa-Rica, I was asked by the University of Panama, in the Republic of Panama, to pronounce a conference on the Haitian flag, the horizontal blue and red. I was 23 years old. Far from me the thought, then, that nine years later, in 1964, I would witness the reinstatement of the old vertical black and red flag by the Francois Duvalier "Papa Doc's" administration. These original colors, black and red, were chosen by Dessalines, Emperor Jacques 1 er., described in the May 1805 Haitian constitution.
A brief recap of the Haitian flag. In January 1st 1804, Independance Day, the flag was horizontal with the Blue band on top of the Red band. This was the first flag of the independent republic. By so doing, Alexandre Pétion, leader of the mulattoes and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, leader of the black slaves, had decided to create a unique flag to represent their troops. They also wanted to impart on the French the message that they had lost that colony forever. To them the blue symbolized the mulattoes and the blacks, while the red symbolized their blood.
In 1805, shortly after Jean-Jacques Dessalines proclaimed himself emperor, the Haitian flag color was changed to black and red bands placed vertically respectively. And after the emperor's assassination, from 1806 to 1964, the blue and red bands were reinstated horizontally, excluding King Henri Christophe in the North of Haiti, who kept the vertical black and red flag that Dessalines used, from 1811 to 1820.
From 1964 to 1986 the Francois Duvalier constitution decreed that the 1805 vertical black and red that Dessalines used was the official flag of the nation. In 1986, with the overthrow of his son Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, the original blue and red flag of Haitian independence, January 1st 1804, was reinstated again as the official flag of the nation, by the overwhelming demand of the Haitian people.
To come back to the personal, which is also part of History, in 1964 I was approached by a Haitian diplomat, an ambassador, representative of President-for-life Francois Duvalier in one of the Haitian embassies overseas. He is still alive and wishes to remain anonymous. He gave me as a personal gift, without the knowledge of his boss Francois Duvalier (I was a political exile) , the original horizontal blue and red bands flown over the embassy, which had just been replaced by the vertical black and red bands, as the official flag of Haiti everywhere in the world. I have kept this flag all those years, and that's the flag that I have brought here today for your perusal. It took another 22 years, from 1964 to 1986, for this original horizontal blue and red flag to be again reinstated as the official flag of the republic of Haiti.
Today 23 may 2007, this is my fourth conference on the flag in almost 50 years, The first one as I said was at age 23 when I was a young man and my audience then was also young, and they all are senior citizens, today. I remember then, that at the University of Panama, I also brought with me, that day, a blue and red Haitian flag which was not as luxurious as this present one that I have kept since 1964.
I will be 75 years old on June 15, 2007, and I am pleased to have kept with me this historical flag which was given to me by this Haitian diplomat. I am pleased to show it to you, a new generation. Let's hope that, once and for all, the Haitian flag will remain what it presently is. I thought so when I had my conference in Panama, in 1955, to be surprised nine years later, with a new flag. If it happens again, let's say 20 years from now, I am afraid that I may not be available for another lecture; one of you will have to take over. My last conference was in 2002, when I was a guest speaker at Miami Dade Community College, (North Campus).
To come back to the flag, I will share with you the following thoughts. The national Flag Day for any country is indisputably a symbol of general pride. Haitians would consider any offense to their flag to be an offense to their country. Besides being an icon, a flag's origin can often say a lot about a social make-up or history. Haitians, as all other people,reserve a special day to honor it. That day is May 18th.
In Haiti, Flag Day is a national holiday celebrated with great fanfare on the grounds of the national palace. Flag Day is also observed by Haitians in the Diaspora. Haiti's flag origin is tightly linked to a history of struggle for freedom.
It's the same everywhere, and we can witness it, every day, in the U.S.A. with the American people and their love for their flag. We can witness it, every day, with the Cuban people in Miami and their attachments to their flag. And that goes for every ethnic group. A flag is country, a flag is roots, a flag is culture, a flag is histoy. I am wearing today the Haitian flag on my left, meaning roots, and the U.S and French flags on my right, meaning roots, culture, and history.
To come back to the Haitian Flag. I would be amiss if I neglected to mention the precursor of Haitian independence,Toussaint Louverture. From 1791 to about 1793 in Haiti the slave revolt became widespread and gave rise to a number of large groups still fighting independently. In those days, each group leader would use any piece of cloth as a flag. Slowly the slave movement found some synergy and came to follow the leadershiop of one man: Toussaint Louverture. Toussaint fought for the Spanish against the French (1793-1794), for the French against Spain and England (1794-1802), and ultimately against France. He invented his own flag, which was a white piece of cloth with a Negro head to represent the blacks.
In 1803 the free slaves and the men of color had decided to fight for the creation of an indepndent nation. Before marching on to Port-au-Prince, the capital city, the black, jean-Jacques Dessalines and the mulatto, Alexandre Pétion, needed to make a strong statement. On May 18, 1803, in the city of Archaie, not far from Port-au-Prince, they agreed on an official flag, with blue and red bands placed vertically. Haiti's first flag was sewn by a lady named Catherine Flon. On Independence Day however, January 1st 1804, the flag was modified again. The blue and the red bands were placed horizontally this time, with the blue band on top of the red band. This flag was in use from 1806 until 1964 when Papa Doc Duvalier brought back the vertical black and red flag of Dessalines, and added a modified version of the arms of the Republic.
And we know the rest of the story. On February 25, 1986, after the fall of Baby Doc and the Duvalier regime, the Haitian people in its vast majority requested that the red and blue flag be brought back, and it is included in the last constitution of 1987.
In 1804, Alexandre Pétion added the white squared portion that included the country arms and the famous phrase " L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE " meaning strength through unity. In 1964, Papa Doc Duvalier added a modified version of the arms of the Republic to the black and red flag.
Today, the constitution of 1987 describes the new flag on theses terms: The emblem of the Haitian nation shall be a flag with the following description.
a) Two (2) equal-sized horizontal bands: a blue one on top and a red one underneath.
b) The coat of arms of the Republic shall be placed in the center on a white square.
c) The coat of arms of the Republic will be a Palm tree surmounted by the liberty cap and under the palms a trophy with the legend : In Union there is Strength.
That is the flag used until today.

Mon cher Carl,
Tu as le don de trouver des écrivains de haute qualité pour alimenter
cette magnifique page qu'est LE COIN DE CARL.
Je viens de découvrir Jean L.Théagène, qui me fit un cour d'histoire
concernant notre bicolore dans un style des plus harmonieux, avec une précision
qui caractérise son talent de chercheur.
Je crois comprendre que M. Théagène habite en dehors d’Haiti et,
une fois de plus, nos dirigeants firent une gaffe monumentale en laissant cet
intellectuel de haut calibre apporter ses vues tant sociales qu'historiques, ailleurs.
Même qu'étant loin de sa terre natale, Haiti reste bien sacrée en sa personne, et
voici notre chance.

« IL N’EXISTE PAS UN HOMME QUI NE PEUT ÊTRE CONQUIS » Ava Gardner LE COUP DE FOUDRE D’AVA GARDNER POUR LE CÉLÈBRE SAXOPHONISTE HAITIEN :
CHARLES DESSALINES par Carl Fombrun
C’est avec la joie de vivre habituelle, entre deux amis, que je recevais dimanche soir passé, comme de temps à autre, un appel téléphonique du célèbre saxophoniste haitien Charles Dessalines. En ma qualité de chroniqueur « fouyapot, » cette fois, Charles m’a finalement régalé de quelques détails de sa rencontre avec la célèbre étoile américaine du cinéma des années 50, la sirène, la reine d’Hollywood et pour qui, le non moins célèbre chanteur Frank Sinatra, déjà marié avec trois enfants, aurait donné sa vie, si elle n’acceptait de l’épouser, et où le plus long baiser historique télévisé d’un couple célèbre, pour confirmer ce grand amour, eut lieu sur le petit écran à la vue des centaines de milliers de personnes.
Pour Charles, celui qui s’élève s’abaisse et actuellement septuagénaire, il préfère garder la discrétion quand il s’agit de ses mémoires de jeunesse, mais je l’ai convaincu que pour la petite histoire et les euphories d’une époque, de partager avec les fans du COIN DE CARL, ce conte féerique de trois nuits et quatre jours, en Haiti, à une époque ou même un jeune, débordant de talent musical et de testotérone, ne pouvait seulement que rêver de compagnie féminine de telle intensité et de volupté dans l’Haiti isolée des années 50; pour Charles, c’était la réalité… En ce temps-là, Port-au-Prince avait 250 milles habitants et une population totale 3 millions, comparable à près de 2 millions aujourd’hui dans la capitale, et une population totale de plus de 8 millions, et de deux million d’haitiens à travers le monde.
Ava Gardner n’était pas à son premier essai. Socialement, elle était réputée comme amante de l’alcool ayant un vocabulaire acerbe, souvent vulgaire et provocant, à la conquête de tout homme qu’elle appréciait. Le fameux Burt Lancaster, pendant un filmage romantique, fut l’une de ses victimes au grand amusement du metteur-en-scène, de même que l’aussi célèbre acteur Robert Mitchum, et elle appela l’épouse de ce de dernier, pour le lui dire.
Cette ronde intensive d’alcool, d’insomnie, de gaieté forcée, ayant un tempérament volatile et conduite par un chauffeur Ava consumait des thermos entier de gin. Telle était sa vie qui s’acheva brusquement dans la solitude à Londres, à l’âge de 67 ans. Ava Gardner, malgré tous ses démons, avaient plusieurs qualités dont l’une des plus touchantes était son humanisme : elle était dépourvue de préjugé de race, couleur, et autre étant elle-même la fille d’un pauvre fermier de la Caroline du Nord où la ségrégation raciale battait son plein.
Dans les années 50, la millionaire et populaire vedette du grand écran visitait Haiti pour un repos bien mérité après avoir conclut un film à Hollywood. Sa viste en Haiti faisait partie d’un paquet offert par sa compagnie, la MGM, pour récupérer des rigueurs de carrière. En Haiti, elle s’installa, avec sa suite, à l’hotel Ibo Lélé, et dès le premier soir visitait le populaire Hotel Riviera de ce temps, où Charles Dessalines ne faisait que charmer ses fans aux sons de son instrument de prédilection : le saxophone. Quelle ne fut le choc de Charles, après l’exécution d’une de ses brillantes compositions, d’avoir à ses pieds une sensuelle et jolie courtisane anticipant, convoitant tous ses mouvements. Face à cette admiratrice d’un érotisme sans ambiguité, il en fit allusion à son collègue Joe Trouillot qui lui dévoila qu’il avait affaire à la célèbre Ava Gardner.
Cétait le commencement de l’aventure. Ava invita Charles à sa table où elle le présenta à son entourage composé de courtisans, gardes-de-corps, avocats, et autres. Quant elle lui demanda quel était son « poison » préféré, Charles, en bon haitien, commanda un rhum punch, et Ava s’empara d’un chalumeau et le trempa dans le meme rhum punch de Charles pour déguster du liquide enivrant ; les jeux étaient faits et rien n’allait plus.
Pour les jours et nuits à venir, Charles Dessalines encore dans la vingtaine, était devenu pratiquement le prisonnier de la sensuelle et déterminée Ava Gardner. L’euphorique Ava lui offrit une maison toute meublée à Hollywood. Le respectable et passif Charles était déjà marié avec bébé en route, et il dû décliner cette offre. Charles profita à l’avenir de contacts obtenus d’Ava Gardner, pour faire une tournée musicale aux États-Unis. Mais, l’homme, Charles Dessalines, est toujours resté fidèle à ses racines haitiennes.
Les témoignages pour Charles Dessalines sont multiples. L’un, c’est celui de l’ineffable Don Quique (Henri Delva), un consultant régulier du COIN DE CARL, qui dans sa fougue légendaire à une jeune âge, était prêt à tirer les oreilles du Maestro Issa El Saieh, s’il n’acceptait l’interprétation d’une de ses favorites chansons par Charles Dessalines.
L’autre témoignage, un souvenir encore en ma possession, une collection de disques de 33 tour, de Charles, qui me fut donnée en cadeau par la Reine du Sucre de l’Amérique Latine, Claudinette Fouchard, aujourd’hui Claudinette Bonnefil.
Un autre souvenir est de l’unique Aubelin Jolicoeur, qui rapportait dans le quotidien Le Nouvelliste, les ébats amoureux et autres d’Ava Gardner en Haiti. Aubelin n’était pas encore reconnu come le fameux Petit Pierre dans le livre « Les Comédiens » de Graham Greene qui ferait fureur, à l’époque de Papa Doc, quelques années plus tard. L’ère de l’administration Magloire, qu’on pensait être dévergondée, était pourtant l’âge de l’innocence si on pouvait prédire l’avenir : l’arrivée de Papa Doc, l’assassinat de John F. Kennedy, l’avancement de la technologie qui nous donna l’avion-jet, le céllulaire, et l’ordinateur qui ont tous leur bons et mauvais cotés en globalisant la gabegie mais aussi le génie de la race humaine.
Pour terminer avec une peu d’humour, Robert Baussan, le propriétaire de l’hotel Ibo-Léle et ami de Charles Dessalines s’adressant à Charles, s’écriait : « Ala ti-nèg nwè gen chans se wou, Chal, pou jwenn fanm sa’a ! »
Aujourd’hui, ayant rejoint le rang des septuagénaires, Charles de me dire que quant il apprit la mort d’Ansy Dérose, sa remarque fut qu’Ansy n’est past mort, il appartient à une autre dimension.
L’ami Charles Dessalines, héritier d’un grand nom, que la vie te soit douce avec de tendres souvenirs. Ce sera une joie d’être en ta compagnie le Dimanche 25 Mars 2007 prochain à New York, pour rendre hommage au grand compositeur-musicien haitien RAOUL GUILLAUME, dans un jeu d’association.
À tantôt,
Carl

KREYOL KONPRANN
Kal ak Abdullah nan vil Jakmel lane 2006
MEN SA ABDULLAH BIN VOYE BAN MWEN Kal, Mwen ta jis vle fè yon ti ajoute sou sa Klosa te voye di a. Li pa pran yon syantis rokèt pou konpran ke: nan epok esklavaj la tout kot no ak kot lwès l'Afrik la te domine pa Mizilman. Sa pote nou a poze yon kesyon lojik: kouman sa fè til ke pèp Ayisyen pat jamn konnen ki sa ki te rele l'Islam le ke se yon Imam ki tap praktike Iman (la foi Islamik) ki te chèf en tèt mouvman-a? Kit yo vle rele seremoni-a Bwa Kay Imam ou bwa Kay Iman, sila pa fè gran diferans. Epi tou, kouman ke gen koze nan langaj Kreyol la ki di "Pa fouye dwèt ou nan jakout Zakat la,"? Gen tou, Minis Azaka. Mo sa yo kleman pa soti nan lang Franse ni nan lang Panyol yo. Islam baze sou senk pilye:
a. Tah-wid (UNICITE Gran Mèt La)
b. Salaat (Obligasyon pou fè la priyè nou)
c. Zakaat (La Charite)
d. Ramadan (Yon Mwa nan lane kote nou nan obligasyon fè jen chak jou)
e. Hajj (Pelerinaj a la Mek)
Nou chaje fanmi Ayisen ki rele Audmar, Ademar, Balmir, elatriye...non sa yo pa non Franse yo ye...yo se non Mizilman/Islamik. Nan L'islam lè ke yon ti moun fèt, paran-l bay li yon non selon esperans yo, seta di sa yo ta vle timoun vin tounen lè li ap grandi...mem koutim la te a la mod an Ayiti: Dyesèl, Dyemèt, Dyedone, elatriye... Koutim leve bonè nan maten fè pati tou de sistèm yo. Lè Ayisyen ap lave men-l, li lave jouk nan kou li yo... Gen yon simityè nan zon Meye Jakmel ki se yon simityè ki antedate revolisyon Ayisyen a ki gen Mizilman antere la dan'l sèlman... 2. jouk kounye a pa gen yon relijyon an Afrik ki rele vodou...li se yon aspè kiltirel nan peyi kou wè Benin yo. Ato sa pote nou a poze yon kesyon lojik: kouman li fe vin relijyon nan peyi pa nou a; epi pou ki yo pa vle admet ke nan l'Islam gen pati mistik la tou ki rele Soufi? Anpil nan konesans vodouizan yo se konesans ke Soufi genyen tou. Sèl bagay, sèvi ak yo pou le mal pa la dan'l. Dayè, tout relijyon dwe admèt ke yo menm tou yo gen aspè mistik lakay yo si yo ta vle onèt ak tèt yo. Mirak Jezi (la pè Bon Dye Gran Met la (Allah) sou li) te kon fè yo se de bagay ki te mistik a linfini. Pouki kounye a mo mistik la se yon bagay negatif? Relijyon dwe gen prèv syantifik ki akonpaye li paske mèt la syans la se Gran Kreyatè a. Pa gen anyen li pa ka fè. Men, elas, anpil relijyon pa admèt la syans paske la syans pral demanti sa yap di yo. Fok tout moun konsyan ke nou, an tank om, nou pa gen konesans de tout sa ki nan egzistans la... Pè ak bonè pou nout tout... Abdullah Bin
