Toussaint Louverture

Couple days ago in my Latin America History class I learned about Toussaint Loverture who was an ox... What he did for his country and the way he did it. He didn't stand for slavery. He learned how to read and write so he had an advantage over most slaves. Toussaint was the leader of the Haitian Revolution. During the late 1700 Saint Domingo  a colony in Haiti was a major producer of Sugarcane and other crops and other heavyweight countries wanted to take over the country. Toussaint not having any military experience defeated the Spanish and the British armies with the help off the French because they agreed to free all slaves. When Napoleon came to office he had tricked Toussaint to coming to France only to put him in jail and he eventually died in prison. That is just a bried synopsis of Loverture life everyone should google and YouTube him and learn. I enjoyed learning about him I just wished that in the states they discussed him because he was an important figure. He is very inspirational to fight for what he believed in and it makes me strive to be the difference and it proves the old saying right " one man can make a difference". I believe he should be mentioned in history with Martin Luther the King" reference to the movie Coming To America the barbershop conversation lol" but with Martin Luther King, Malcom X. I remember a conversation in one of my psychology classes and a Caucasian person said in school they only learned about MLK not Malcolm X I wonder why?? I'll let you tell it...

I think people with African decent  in South America or anywhere is different from African Americans in the states. We all come from that African background but they have more of a different background not coming from the states. Not saying that is good or bad but we are different people. I don't know about the way they lived or their culture. One day I would like to learn but as of now I don't know a lot about them. I believe that Afro-Latinos are a different breed than African Americans meaning we share the African influence but they have the Latino influence as well and we have American influence. This reference of breed doesn't mean we are different people and I don't agree or condone their actions totally not the meaning of breed. As far as anyone else that has a darker skin tone some of them are not African. I've seen some dark Indian people to where I have had to take a double look because I thought they were African American.
