Written by Dominick Brioche
Neg Mawon
The Neg Mawon statue is in tribute to the brown men in hiding (slaves) who ran away into the mountains and became the slave armies. They were lead by Boukman for 13 years against the colonists and later, Napoleon's army. These slave armies were commanded by Toussaint L’Ouverture, and later by Jean-Jacques Dessalines, to ultimate victory over the French at the Battle of Vertitieres on 18 November 1803.
