This Teach-In presented an in-depth analysis of Haitian migration by a panel of experts from the island and its diaspora communities that dove into the root causes and current affairs that have driven recent emigration from Haiti to South America and the US. Experts in the areas of law, journalism, as well as political and cultural activism, explained how US Policy and political corruption tied to international economic development are at the root of the island’s latest migrant movement towards the US southern border.
