Bois Caïman (Aug. 1791) is remembered as a secret night gathering of enslaved people in northern Haiti where they vowed to fight for freedom. Led by figures like Cécile Fatiman (often written “Fatima”), it’s widely seen as the spark of the Haitian Revolution the only successful slave uprising, which led to Haiti’s independence in 1804.
