Haitian Heritage Museum
“The Only One of Its Kind in the World”
The Haitian Heritage Museum (HHM) is a not for profit organization that is committed to highlighting and preserving Haiti’s rich culture and heritage locally, nationally and internationally. Our goal is to provide a cultural Mecca for Little Haiti where individuals outside of our community and within our community boundaries can come to enjoy beautiful Haitian art, historic artifacts, ethnic sounds of Haitian music, view Haitian films and enjoy a collection of Haitian Literary works. By providing this platform as a linkage to Haitian Americans all over the Diaspora and educating the public about the phenomenal contributions that Haitian Americans made as a people, this will in turn create a legacy for the future generations of young Haitian Americans.

The Haitian Heritage Museum (HHM) is Celebrating the “Month of May”, Haitian Heritage Month. The vibrant culture will be on full display at many locations throughout Miami Dade County. We have partnered with Barnes & Noble Aventura, City of North Miami, and Miami Dade County Public Schools to bring a taste of Haiti to the community. Come out to “Dancin in the District”, in the beautiful Miami Design District on Saturday May 8, 8pm to 10. Also, you’re invited to come and experience the Haitian culture through books, with a book signing on Tuesday May 18, 6pm-10 at Barnes & Noble Aventura with Haitian American, Chef Ron Duprat. In addition, you’ll also enjoy live poetry, and face painting. The Close-out Event happening Saturday May 22, 2010 6pm- 10 will be a Comedy Show featuring Coconut Grove Improv winner Haitian American Comedian Jean Nervil, spoken word artist Mecca aka Grimo and DJ Mike Cooley. You don’t want to miss this cultural expose.

Part of the proceeds from the “Dreams for Haiti” book sales, and beverage sales will go toward helping Haiti’s Libraries recover since the devastating earthquake. You can also visit bn.com/bookfairs to support us online from May 18 to May 22 by entering Bookfair ID 10202901 at checkout. BE A PART OF HISTORY, BE A PART OF A LEGACY

Haitian Heritage Museum Gives Aid to Haiti The Haitian Heritage Museum is a non-profit organization that is committed to highlighting and preserving Haiti’s rich culture and heritage locally, nationally and internationally. Our goal is to provide a cultural Mecca for South Florida where individuals outside of our community and within our community can come to enjoy beautiful Haitian art, historic artifacts, ethnic sounds of Haitian music, view Haitian films and enjoy a collection of Haitian Literary works. We hope that by providing this experience to the public we can expose the phenomenal contributions that Haitian Americans have made as a people which will in turn, create a legacy for the future generations of young Haitian Americans. Haitian Heritage Museum is the only museum in the world outside of Haiti dedicated entirely to the Haitian people.

The Haitian Heritage Museum in the Design District, has come together with local non-profit organizations, with support from A E District Gallery, DACRA Realty, The United Way, NBC6, City of Miami Gardens, Circle of Love and Yele Haiti to collect relief aid for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Eveline Pierre Executive Director of the Haitian Heritage Museum has noted that in such a short amount of time, the community support has been overwhelming. We are truly grateful for such support and continued prayers during this time of recovery. We are asking the community to bring donations of bottled water and medical emergency supplies as listed below. All donated items will be shipped to Haiti via the Red Cross.

Supplies needed: Bottled Water, gauze pads, wound pads, scissors, examinations, gloves, rubbing alcohol, peroxide medical tape and antibacterial ointment.
