The Haitian Times’ “Photos of the Year” features many of our favorite images from the Haitian diaspora. We’ve deliberately avoided some of the more outrageous and harrowing images to come out of Haiti this year and decided instead to focus on snapshots from our communities that, while they may not be vulgar and shocking, are worth focusing on.
From vibrant cultural events to warm moments with loved ones, these images capture the resilience and joy that defines the Haitian people. Through these images, we hope to show the beauty and strength of Haitian society and remind our readers of the many positive aspects of this dynamic and diverse group of people.
In January, a group gathered in Prospect Park to remember the victims of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti on the 12th anniversary of the disaster. The annual candlelight vigil sought to honor the lives lost, estimated at between 250,000 and 316,000, when the earth shook in Port-au-Prince. As part of the memorial, participants observed a minute’s silence at 4:53 p.m., which is when the earth shook.
