Haitian-American expert offers analysis on Haiti as one-year anniversary of earthquake approaches; launches “This is Haiti” presentation
Mildred Antenor
New York, NY (BlackNews.com) — Haitian-American media commentator, journalist and college professor, Mildred Antenor, is currently available to share her insights on Haiti.
Â
As January 12th, the one-year anniversary of the most devastating natural disaster that the country has seen in 200 years approaches, Antenor plans to clarify inaccuracies and dispel myths about her ancestral country.
Â
Antenor has created “This is Haiti”, a presentation, for corporations, non-profit organizations and educational institutions, through Black History month.
Â
The quake killed over 250,000 people, leaving a large portion of Haiti in ruins. As the Haitian people begin to rebuild, facts about Haiti have been shrouded in inaccuracies and myths. People are often unaware of Haiti’s rich history. For example, a Haitian man Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable founded the city of Chicago, and in 1779 over 500 Haitian soldiers helped Americans fight the British during the Revolutionary War.
Â
According to Antenor, “The fact that Haitians won their independence through a very bloody 13-year war against Napoleons army points to the tenacity of Haitian people.”
Â
Ms. Antenor has appeared on “The O’Reilly Factor“, Fox 5’s “Good Day Street Talk“, a public affairs program concentrating on today’s hot topics and The CW-11 Morning News to name a few. She is frequently asked to give opinions and new perspectives on hard-hitting issues by news broadcasters. You can also listen to her on WBGO 88.3 FM radio where her commentaries focus on Haiti and current news events.
Â
Ms. Antenor also served as a co-creator and co-host on WLIB a weekly radio call-in talk show entitled L’Ecole Sans Mur (School Without Walls). This program focused on public activists including political, economic and social issues facing Haitian immigrants in the community.

Mildred holds memberships with New York Women in Communications and the MATRIX Awards Development Committee, and is the founder of www.MildredAntenor.com.
