understanding and appreciation of Haitian culture and society.  In 
fulfilling this mission, the Haitian institute offers a variety of programs 
including seminars, lectures, book discussions, films and art exhibits.  
Founded in 1987 in Washington, DC, the Haitian Institute has held the torch 
of Haitian intellectualism high.  It has been the conscience of the 
community, the keeper of its memory and the source of inspiration for many.  
For those unfamiliar with Haiti's rich traditions, the Institute's many 
programs provide a glimpse into the bounty that is Haiti's culture.
