One Sunday morning in 1988...
One Sunday morning in 1988, as Father Jean-Bertrand Aristide (later to become president
of Haiti) was preaching at mass in his church in Port-au-Prince, a riot broke out.
Government soldiers stormed the gates of the church. Paid assassins scaled the walls and
set the place on fire. With knives and bullets, they massacred unarmed people.
In the midst of the riot, a young pregnant woman was stabbed by the soldiers. She lay
there bleeding, fearful for her unborn child. As the mercenaries continued their rampage,
someone spirited her away to a hospital.
