Toussaint l. Overture

The name of this patriot was
heard in the schools where Negroes
attended quite frequently about 30
or more years ago. Today 1t is very
doubtful if American Negroes even
know the name stands for anything
in connection with the Race. Tous-
saint is French word and a COM
bination of words. Tou meaning all,
and saint meaning holy. He was
born on All Saints day; that is why
he was named Tou saint. Tou saint
was a full-blooded Negro. He was a
slave on the Island of Santo Do
mingo, along with thousands of 9TH
ers serving in hopeless bondage. He
did not dream that he was destined
to be the first Negro ruler of ma
ton in the New World, nor that he
would wade through blood to a
throne. He came to the aid of the
Mulatto in Haiti, who was then
fighting the white men. The Null
attoes were not fighting for the
Blacks, but for themselves alone; the
whites were pressing the Mulattoes
to the wall, when distress cry arose
from the half-breed children to their
mother race. Toussaint answered the
cry with ten thousand black men,
who drove the whites from the
island and forever brought an end to
the slavery of Black people in Haiti.
He was captured by treachery, car
ried to France and died of a broken
heart in a French dungeon. u Over
ture, his surname, was given to him
in battle. When the whites were
pressing the Blacks back in the bat
tie, and it appeared that there was
no way out: Toussaint took bunch
of men and broke through the battle
line of the whites and made an OPEN
ing for the rest and won the battle.
From this he got his name, as Over
ture in French means an opening.
He makes an opening, so they added
u Overture to his name, making it
Toussaint l. Overture. Don't forget
him.
