“HAITI ON THE LINE” is a live call-in special scheduled for February 24, focusing on the impact of gang violence and political turmoil in Haiti. Hosted by notable media figures, the program seeks to gather insights from Haitian and Haitian-American listeners, highlighting personal experiences while incorporating expert commentary.
Last year, gang violence in Haiti claimed over 5,000 lives, highlighting the ongoing political crisis in the country. For Haitian Americans navigating two worlds, the uncertainty affects their lives on both sides of the border. In response, public radio stations in major U.S. cities with large Haitian populations are hosting a special call-in program titled “HAITI ON THE LINE” to discuss these issues and gather listener perspectives.
The event aims to shed light on the challenges Haitians and Haitian Americans face due to the crisis in Haiti, creating a platform for personal experiences and insights from community members and experts. By engaging listeners, the hosts hope to foster dialogue on the impact of the situation in Haiti and its implications for the diaspora.
