"The Lessons of Hayti" is a 1-hour documentary that examines the unique history of Black self-sufficiency and political power in the United States from it's origins just following President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 up to the second inauguration of America's first Black President, Barack Obama, 150 years later, and how that power has eroded since the Civil Rights era, leaving Black America in a current state of economic turmoil
