We Must Stand Together

by Her Excellency Michaëlle Jean

 

"We must stand together as a country and tell the world, in the words of the old Negro Spiritual, that we shall not be moved.

We shall not be moved by the spirit of hatred that seeks to pit neighbour against neighbour.

We shall not be moved by racial discrimination that limits the opportunities of many minorities seeking employment.

We shall not be moved by the forces of terror and destruction that seek to intimidate some of our most vulnerable communities."

From Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean Speech on the Occasion of the Celebration of African Heritage Month Halifax, Monday, February 12, 2007

Your dedication and inner strength is an inspiration to our world.
May your Spirit of Togetherness and Common Interests take root in every home and hamlet in our world.

May your Spirit serve as a beacon to our world, urging us on to get on with it; and free ourselves from the shackles of ignorance.

May the Almighty water the seeds of your vision that it will result in abundant harvest in our world.

The light of your consciousness is blazing for all of us see!

God Bless you in all your endeavours!

Sans doute, vous et moi, nous sommes de la Génération qui ne veut pas céder, ni son identité, ni son pays, ni son ame. Nos pères, les Va-nus-pieds, nous ont laissé un héritage que d'aujourd'hui nous somme en train de perdre. L'idéal christophien c'était de faire échec à l'Armée française en février 1802 devant le Cap, bataille qui nous a amené à la Crête-à-Pierrot pour le combat final le 18 novembre 1803 et nous imposer comme PEUPLE LIBRE, SOUVERAIN et INDÉPENDANT le premier janvier 1804. Aujourd'hui, ceux-là qui gouvernent notre chère Haiti, sont-ils capable de dire la même que nous, "Nous ne cédons pas"?
