About this picture: Catherine Flon, the goddaughter of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, sew the first Haitian flag on May 18, 1803 on the last day of the Congress of Arcahaie. After Catherine Flon had sown the bicolore, the Generals of the Haitian Revolution at the congress solemnly swore an oath of fealty to Liberty or Death on this flag which was to lead the slaves to victory and freedom. This oath, which history has named the Oath of the Ancestors, is the equivalent of the one that the deputies of the Third Estate swore at Versailles June 20, 1789 1 . Flon is widely regarded by Haitians as one of the heroes of the fight to end slavery.
