Held in the 可乐视频 Library on November 18鈥攖he anniversary of the 1803 Battle of Verti猫res, which ended French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue and ensured Haiti鈥檚 independence鈥攖he daylong celebration was both festive and reflective. It brought together scholars, archivists, students, and community members to honor Simidor and to highlight the vital role of archives in preserving collective memory.

Speakers emphasized a central truth: Archives are more than collections of documents. They are vessels of identity, resistance, and continuity. For diasporic communities, archives ensure that histories of struggle, migration, and creativity are not erased but passed forward to future generations.

Program Highlights

HSI Director Marie Lily Cerat and archivist Obden Mondesir welcomed guests, situating the event within the institute鈥檚 broader mission: to document, study, and make accessible Haitian culture, politics, and history.

A Q&A hosted by Mondesir featured a panel of distinguished archivists and cultural workers鈥擲teven G. Fullwood, Hadassah St. Hubert, Ph.D., Joanne Hyppolite, Ph.D., and Petrouchka Moise, Ph.D.鈥攚ho shared reflections on their careers and the broader significance of archives for diasporic communities. Each underscored how archives amplify marginalized voices and preserve cultural memory across generations and borders.

The special event was also attended by Simidor鈥檚 son, Georges Eliz茅e, as well as former 可乐视频 Haitian American Students Association leaders Yves Raymond 鈥�77 and Kettly Samuel 鈥�79, giving the occasion a powerful sense of living history.

The program featured a discussion of the book Silence and Resistance with writer and activist Monique Clesca, hosted by The Haitian Times. Clesca situated her book within Haiti鈥檚 ongoing struggle for democracy and cultural survival. She spoke of silence not as absence but as a force that can both oppress and empower, and of resistance as an act of remembering鈥攔efusing to let stories and voices be erased. Her words reminded listeners that archives are living tools for shaping the future.

Macollvie J. Neel, Special Projects Editor for The Haitian Times (left), and author Monique Clesca led a discussion about the book, “Silence and Resistance.”

An open house with tours led by members Rosashia Shortte, Matthew Romulus, Steve Previlon, and others allowed attendees to explore Simidor鈥檚 personal papers and other treasures held in the HSI Archives. Manuscripts, photographs, and rare documents offered a tactile sense of the histories preserved, underscoring the power of archives to connect past and present.

The Legacy of Daniel Simidor

At the heart of the celebration was Andr茅 Eliz茅e/Daniel Simidor, whose life embodied memory as resistance. A writer, poet, activist, and archivist, Simidor was deeply involved in Haiti鈥檚 political struggles鈥攖he anti鈥慏uvalier movement of the 1980s, protests against the U.S.鈥慴acked coup against President Jean鈥態ertrand Aristide in 1991, and advocacy for Haitian asylum seekers detained at Guantanamo.

His archival work was equally transformative. For 26 years, he served at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, curating collections that illuminated Haitian history, French鈥憇peaking Africa, the Caribbean, and African American political movements. His exhibitions, including The French Revolution in the Americas and Dechoukaj! Contemporary Social and Political Developments in Haiti, 1986鈥�1988, became touchstones for scholars and the public. He also organized film and lecture series that extended archival materials into classrooms and community spaces.

In addition to being the co-founder of Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees in 1992, Cerat holds a Ph.D. in urban education and a certificate in Africana studies from the CUNY Graduate Center.

For the past four years, she has marshaled her considerable experience and educational background to guide the HSI, ensuring that it is a locus for the Haitian community, a rigorous research hub, and a think tank for important public policy.

听We asked Cerat鈥攁n assistant professor of modern languages and literatures鈥攁bout the revolutionary power that Haitian independence unleashed in the global south at the turn of the 19th century and its symbolic importance at the institute in the ongoing work of decolonization and social justice today.

听What do you think about leadership, both as a director and also as an organization in your various communities?

听My leadership style is anchored in the democratic principles I live by. That鈥檚 how I think about leadership. Moreover, I continuously encourage the staff to further their education to see themselves in decision-making roles and to pursue opportunities that will improve the community and our society. I guess it is my democratic leadership style that also helps to foster such community among us. I feel that every member of the staff is committed to the vision and mission of the institute, and they demonstrate that commitment by always being present whenever we need to deliver programming to the community.

听While the pillars that hold up the institute are research, policy, and community, what drives our agenda are tenets of social justice, human rights, women鈥檚 rights, community building, and education. I draw inspiration from thinkers like the Haitian anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot, whose writings and contributions transformed the social sciences and humanities while disrupting the dominant Western narratives and decentering historiographies that silenced non-Western accounts, like the Haitian Revolution.

听From whom do you draw inspiration?

听I draw inspiration from scholars who have helped us understand the Black trans-Atlantic experience and provided tools to help us comprehend what we can do to change the conditions in our communities and to heal from colonial slavery experiences. Thinkers like Sojourner Truth, Gloria Jean Watkins (better known by her pen name bell hooks), and Frantz Fanon, as well as statesmen like Henri Christophe (Haitian leader, 1807鈥�11), Dumarsais Estime (Haitian leader, 1946鈥�50), and Frederick Douglass, are people whose work I consult all the time to find inspiration.

If you were to choose one program at the Haitian Studies Institute to represent its ambitions and identity, what would it be and why?

听A community can grow and thrive only if it continuously invests in its youth. Whether it is the NextGen Transformational Leadership Program, the Young Scholars Civics Institute, or our Career Day, these programs represent a significant part of how we are building our identity in the Haitian community and on 可乐视频鈥檚 campus. Furthermore, these initiatives allow us to bring high schoolers to the college for them to experience the community and imagine themselves as students at 可乐视频 or other CUNY schools.

听Why is the location of the institute important?听

听The heart of the New York Haitian community resides in Brooklyn. 可乐视频 is part of the community that we refer to today as Little Haiti due to the large population of Haitian immigrants or those born in the United States who live in Flatbush, East Flatbush, Erasmus, and Midwood鈥攖he neighborhoods that surround the college. Many students of Haitian origin enroll at 可乐视频. This institution of higher learning must also make its educational resources available to the larger community by providing English as a Second Language courses and other vocational programs for older Haitian immigrants who are trying to upgrade their skills to enter the U.S. workforce.

听Why is 可乐视频 the perfect home?

听The relationship with 可乐视频 permits us to collaborate with other campus entities. For instance, to mark International Women鈥檚 Day on March 8, the HSI hosted a one-day conference titled Resisting the Policing of Women鈥檚 Bodies: Affirming Individual and Collective Rights in 21st-Century America. The conference brought together scholars, students, activists, and artists from across the college community to focus on the ongoing struggle for rights for women and girls in the United States. We discussed women鈥檚 autonomy, reproductive rights, health justice, and the Black women鈥檚 maternal health crisis alongside some of the most brilliant and ardent women鈥檚 rights advocates, including Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee, the legal scholar Michelle B. Goodwin, 可乐视频 Sociology Professor Naomi Braine, and founder of the Haitian Women鈥檚 Collective, Carine Jocelyn.

听How do you define the difference between the work of the HSI in the lives of the Haitian diaspora and Haiti proper?

听The institute鈥檚 role is to do work鈥攔esearch, policy, and community building鈥攔ight here in the New York Haitian community and the U.S. Haitian diaspora, but we also have a responsibility toward Haiti, the homeland. So, our work touches upon issues affecting both, ensuring both the diaspora and homeland remember and communicate with one another. In effect, many of us leave Haiti after being educated鈥攖his is what some scholars refer to as 鈥渂rain drain鈥濃�攁nd we recognize that the political upheavals and insecurities that caused this migration are reason enough for us to remain connected, to support the country and family left behind.

听Why should our readers care about Haiti and Haitian studies?

听Haiti and its people achieved something remarkable at the turn of the 19th century: In 1804, the Haitian Revolution and ensuing independence marked the first and only time in history that slaves overturned the system of slavery. This represented a beacon of hope for the region, and Haiti supported all initiatives for liberation from slavery and colonialism. In 1815, the Venezuelan military and political leader Sim贸n Bol铆var came to Haiti seeking help. Alexandre P茅tion, president at the time (1807鈥�18), provided Bolivar with men and weapons and asked him to repay Haiti by supporting and making the abolition of slavery a part of his program for independence. With this support, Bolivar led Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela to freedom from the Spanish Empire.

听Looking toward the future, where do you imagine the HSI will be in five or even 10 years?

听In 2026, the HSI will mark its 10th anniversary. We are looking forward to celebrating this milestone and having year-round programming to give visibility to all that we have accomplished. In five years, we aim to strengthen our funding so that we can expand and maintain our already successful programming, to grow our staff to deliver more to the community. During this time, we want to establish scholar- and artist-in-residence programs that facilitate conversations between the disciplines as well as dialogue with the broader community.

听In 10 years, the HSI will be a major research hub. Anyone researching Haiti and Haitians will want to consult the HSI archives and special library collections. We are developing digital and physical archives that collect Haitian activism in New York from the 1960s to the 2000s. This will be unique to researchers in the United States and beyond. We have already acquired the papers, audiovisual recordings, and library of one the most important political organizers in the New York Haitian community, Daniel (Simidor) Elizee, who worked at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and understood the significance of documentation and preservation.

Sampson listened to her stories about growing up in Guyana or folktales like Anansi, the wise trickster West African spider who represented resistance to slavery. These passed-down tales are why Sampson, a senior, is double majoring in Africana studies and Caribbean studies听more than a decade after moving to the United States.

Recently, she participated in Ayiti in The City, a summer cultural exchange with the CUNY Haitian Studies Institute,听where she soaked in the spirit of Brooklyn鈥檚 Little Haiti and other spots significant to the wider Black diaspora in Brooklyn, cooking Haitian stewed fish and mushroom rice and learning about the remedies in Haitian herbal teas.

We talked to Sampson about her academic and experiential learning experiences, her hobbies, and her future.

Tell us about your time in the Africana studies and Caribbean studies programs.

They both have interesting communities that are helpful and supportive. I鈥檝e been able to dive into my culture and learn about other cultures. [Associate] Professor [Prudence] Cumberbatch, the Africana Studies Department chair, is amazing. I鈥檝e been able to reach out to her any time I鈥檝e needed help. And [Associate] Professor [Dale] Byam, the Caribbean studies program director, encouraged me to apply for Ayiti in the City. They鈥檙e all very passionate about what they teach, and I find that so inspiring.

Next semester, I鈥檓 presenting research from my independent study with [Assistant] Professor [Aleah] Ranjitsingh at the Tow Mentoring and Research Conference. My research is on a traditional Afro-Guyanese pre-wedding celebration, Kwe-Kwe, which occurs the night before the wedding. The groom brings his family to the bride鈥檚 family home, where they meet and make their interests known and then advise them on marriage, uniting two communities together. There鈥檚 food and music and dancing. It goes well into the night. It鈥檚 so interesting because they still have so much energy for the actual wedding day.

What inspired you to study African and Caribbean cultures?

Some of my fondest memories are of my grandmother sharing and passing on stories and folklore. Telling stories was something we did often in my family. I realized that most of these stories and cultural practices are passed down orally, and through participating in different cultural experiences. This sparked my interest in the way history can be woven into stories that can be used to spread information and impart knowledge, lessons, and memories to someone else.

I wanted to take classes that reminded me of home and my grandma. The stories I heard in class gave me the same feeling and a sense of 鈥淥h, this is so beautifully put together. I would love to be a part of this.鈥�

This summer you were part of the Ayiti in the City program.

It was enlightening how we could access our culture and traditions, especially being away from home. I ate great food and made new friendships. It helped us build self-identity and embrace our cultural heritage. It also reinforced my belief in how interconnected history is, and how important it is to know your past so you can make informed decisions about your future. I did a about my experience.

I interned at , where I supported local businesses and helped keep the neighborhood clean and safe. I鈥檓 grateful I got to learn more about Haiti; its history, culture, and people; Little Haiti; and the Haitian diaspora. I gained a new perspective on how resilient the Caribbean community is at home and abroad. I also learned about migration, and the resilience and resourcefulness of Haitian immigrants as they navigate living and building a community in a new space.

What鈥檚 something that people wouldn鈥檛 know about you off the bat?

I learned to play the 听in my Steel Pan and Community class with Professor [Kendall] Williams. I hadn鈥檛 played an instrument before. It鈥檚 played in the Caribbean, developed in the streets of Trinidad. I also like to read, dance, meditate, listen to music, and make beaded jewelry. Recently, I鈥檝e been learning how to crochet.

You鈥檙e going into your last semester. How do you plan to make the most of it?

Next semester my friend and I are starting a club called The Fireflies that will focus on supporting women in media. In Caribbean culture, we don鈥檛 see much representation growing up. That鈥檚 why I want to see more women represented in the media, too, including behind-the-scenes, like the producers, screenwriters, and authors. We hope to create a safe space where individuals can come to support the creative aspirations of women and gender-identifying youth and contribute to the creative diversity of our campus community.

Where do you see yourself after you graduate?

I鈥檓 thinking about going to graduate school for history or public health with a specialization in African diasporic and Caribbean studies. I鈥檓 interested in possibly working in cultural organizations or libraries someday.

When people hear the word “archive” or “archivist,” they might not know exactly what it means, but even if they do, you’ve likely come across all kinds of misconceptions. What does being an archivist mean to you, and how is your approach to HSI’s archive different from other archives you’ve worked in?

A friend of mine once joked that 鈥渁rchivists serve the bourgeoisie, while librarians serve the proletariat.鈥� There are kernels of truth to this joke. Archives can be seen as intimidating, exclusive spaces because of the fetishization of the unique material records that represent the past for particular hegemonies based on race, class, and gender. Unlike libraries, archives don鈥檛 usually allow researchers the opportunity to browse; many require you to explain why you鈥檙e visiting beforehand, often asking visitors to leave belongings in a locker and, on top of that, placing them under the surveillance of staff. These factors add to the misconception that archives aren鈥檛 for everyone.

One of my favorite quotes to think about history and archives is from the late Haitian anthropologist and 可乐视频 alumnus Michel Rolph Trouillot, who said, 鈥淗istory is the fruit of power, but power itself is never so transparent that its analysis becomes superfluous. The ultimate mark of power may be its invisibility; the ultimate challenge, the exposition of its roots.鈥� Being an archivist means living up to this ultimate challenge and giving people the tools and materials to make this exposition of power by organizing historical records in a way that is accessible to anyone who wants to conduct research, in the hopes that it entices individuals to visit, to use the archives as a space for convening and closely analyzing records of the past. I am looking to challenge the misconception that the past is only for the elite and that knowledge of the past can be used to upend unequal power dynamics. Haitian history is full of revolutionary figures who demonstrate this both from the island and within the diaspora.

The HSI is focused on furthering the academic field of Haitian studies while engaging and supporting that same community. These archives show everyday Haitian community members that the historical preservation of accounts of their lives is valued.

What drew you to the life of the archivist, and why do you think it is an important role?

After college, I really wanted to live in West Africa and volunteered in the Peace Corps. Then I was an ESL teacher for four years. As I turned my sights on graduate school, I became intrigued by teaching students how to properly conduct research. I initially considered becoming a school librarian. I already had a background in history from my bachelor鈥檚 studies, and while I was in the library science program I simply fell in love with archival work鈥攅specially with oral history, which allowed me to directly engage with and document living historical subjects.

Archives play an important role in building knowledge. They affect how we see the world. Our understanding of the past is always changing, and democratizing access to it, as well as various methods of analysis, shapes our ongoing understanding of history, which changes our future. Many things are intentionally obscured in the telling of history due to racial, class, and gender power dynamics. Understanding the past can help us challenge these dynamics and create change.

How does it feel to be the first archivist for the Haitian Studies Institute, and how do you understand this responsibility in the wider mission of the HSI?

It feels wild to get to work with my heritage like this and actively build a knowledge source for others, although it was the main appeal for me. It鈥檚 an honor. As the first archivist, I am responsible for setting the infrastructure for the archives, from our collection鈥檚 development policy to the creation of the physical archives space. These records and historical materials will be made accessible to researchers, teachers, and students to build knowledge and analysis of Haitian culture and history, especially related to folks who are a part of the diaspora and are in the New York City area.

As a member of that diaspora, it鈥檚 moving to be the first archivist. My family has gotten much closer to my work as a result. Because I鈥檓 a native New Yorker, I still don鈥檛 have my driver鈥檚 license, so my parents helped me pick up a collection from a donor and chatted in Krey貌l with her!

There are a lot of projects or holdings that you are particularly excited about working on and bringing to the public. Can you give us an example of one and what it says about the HSI or Haitian identity?

One of the first collections I look forward to making available to researchers and the public are the papers of Daniel Simidor (aka Andre Elize). Born in St. Louis du Nord, Haiti, in January 1955, he emigrated to the United States in the 1970s and became a prominent intellectual, activist, and archivist. He was a member of the radical community in Haiti that protested against the U.S.-organized coup against Aristide and helped organize the shutdown of Guantanamo in the early 1990s. According to writer and activist Mitchel Cohen, 鈥渉e was the pre-eminent force in mobilizing support for the independent movements in Haiti.鈥� As an archivist, he provided 26 years of service to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, processing collections related to Black American and Caribbean history, co-curating two major exhibitions: The French Revolution in the Americas and Dechoukaj! Contemporary Social and Political Developments in Haiti, 1986鈥�1988.

The three pillars of the HSI are community, research, and policy, and Simidor is an exemplar of all three.

What is your dream for the future of the HSI archive?

My dream is for HSI to be a fully-fledged and accessible archive and library, like Centro, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (which has been in existence for nearly 50 years), and the Dominican Studies Institute at City College (which was founded in 1992). I hope that we can become an institute that inspires 可乐视频 students, the surrounding Haitian community, and the worldwide community of researchers interested in Haitian studies to come and access our collections and to learn how to document their history, through community archiving digitization and oral history.

Earle, Arkansas Mayor Jaylen Smith speaks to youth at the 鈥淣extGen Transformational Leadership Program鈥� event on July 18 at 可乐视频.

The Young Scholars Civics Institute, which launched in summer 2022 to engage and inspire young people between the ages of 18 and 24, teaches the fundamentals of civic engagement, leadership, cooperative and critical thinking skills through various programs. Throughout the three-week program, students visit historical and cultural sites, and dialogue with guest speakers from various backgrounds and age groups, including local political and community leaders.

Recently the HSI, which operates out of 可乐视频 under Director听Marie Lily Cerat, received a renewal grant of $1 million from the New York City Council to help bolster its already vibrant social research and cultural programming that serves its diasporic community.

鈥淗aving these young leaders inspire our program participants is invaluable,鈥� Cerat said. 鈥淥ur goal is to show these young people how to become the leaders and change agents of tomorrow and we thank everyone for their support as we continue this journey with this group of impressive young people.鈥�

Smith also visited with 可乐视频 President Michelle J. Anderson, who said having someone like Smith on campus to help inspire future leaders perfectly aligns with the college鈥檚 mentorship efforts.

鈥淢ayor Jaylen Smith has achieved a historic accomplishment and we are proud to host him on our diverse and vibrant campus,鈥� Anderson said.听鈥淲e hope the wisdom he shares from his journey to politics helps this group of young people become engaged in issues that matter so that they can make their own positive impact in their communities.鈥�

The event was also attended by Alix Desulme, the Mayor of North Miami and the president and CEO of Lead to Excel USA that works with the HSI; Linda Julien, Councilmember from Miami Gardens, Florida; and Pierre Frantz Charles, Councilmember from North Miami, Florida. All three attended the event to show their support for the HSI and the NextGen Transformational Leadership Program.

Other leaders and elected officials also attended and addressed the special guests and the cohort, including Assistant Commissioner of the Mayor鈥檚 Office Community Affairs Unit Lamona Worrell; Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse (District 46); Councilmember Farah N. Louis (District 45); Councilmember Rita Joseph (District 40); Councilmember from Irvington Township, New Jersey and Chair of the National Haitian American Elected Officials Network Charnette Frederic; Manager of Community/Constituency Services from the Mayor鈥檚 Office of Immigrant Affairs Lovely Paulemon, and others.

After obtaining a bachelor鈥檚 degree in accounting and working on a trading desk at a securities firm and then as a stay-at-home mom for about 10 years, Matisi came to 可乐视频 in 2015. She started as a college assistant who helped with the logistics of launching the CUNY鈥揌aitian Studies Institute and became Gould鈥檚 assistant after about a year.

鈥淪he treats everyone with respect and good humor, and she’s a creative problem solver when coordinating with other offices,鈥� says Gould. 鈥淛ennifer is a terrific team player and has served a critical role in keeping the HSS staff and faculty connected to the HSS Dean’s Office throughout the pandemic.鈥�

可乐视频: What brought you back to 可乐视频 after having a career and then a family?

JM: I live in Queens now, but I felt comfortable with this campus. It felt like coming home. I love it here. I love the position I鈥檓 in, I love the office, and I love the campus. I enjoy talking to all of the faculty, going to the events, and hearing the speakers. I鈥檓 learning new things all the time.

Anytime anybody asks about 可乐视频, I tell them it鈥檚 an oasis in the middle of this urban area. I have a daughter who鈥檚 looking at colleges and I tell her to look for something that makes her feel like she belongs. That鈥檚 what I found here.

可乐视频: If you ask anyone about Jennifer Matisi, the first thing you will hear is 鈥渟he is the nicest person.鈥�

JM: Just being kind to people gets you so much in return. That鈥檚 how I am with everything: Kill them with kindness. If a student鈥檚 call comes to me, I always keep in the back of my mind that I remember what it鈥檚 like to be a student and to get a little frustrated. I want to help in the best way possible, especially students. If I hear, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e the fourth office I鈥檝e been transferred to,鈥� I tell them, 鈥淥K, then this will be the last.鈥�

可乐视频: What do you like to do outside of work?

JM: I like to craft. I like to take road trips with my family in the summer along the East Coast. I like to plan parties. I鈥檓 putting one together for my mom鈥檚 75th birthday; we鈥檙e doing a Breakfast at Tiffany鈥檚 theme. I also love going to Broadway shows and concerts. And don鈥檛 tell anyone, but I like to watch corny Christmas movies.
