Union Patriotique

Taking Haiti: Military Occupation and the Culture of U.S. Imperialism, 1915-1940 describes the Patriotic Union as a crucial bridge between Haitian and African American anti-occupation protest. Founded by Georges Sylvain in the immediate wake of the invasion, it established a presence in the United States during the 1920s and entered into alliance with James Weldon Johnson and the NAACP.
