The photos of the destruction and suffering in Haiti have been taken over my English reporting channels here in Baku...and just this minute I decided that the photos...just one of them...ought to be today's Emmett Tillet.....for those old enough or aware enough will remember that he was the young black boy brutally slain for supposedly whistling at white woman. Once his disfigured body was pull from a river and shipped to his home in Chicago...his mother demanded that the coffin be opened for the world to see what had happened to her son add to that the images of African-Americans being water-hosed....all of these images compelled change!
I only a similar result happens with Haiti and the Haitian people....
