Today in City Hall, the New York City Council voted to approve a proposal from Council Member Jumaane D. Williams that will co-name a section of Rogers Avenue in Flatbush for Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the first leader of an independent Haiti.
Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard will span Rogers Ave.
from Farragut Rd. to Eastern Parkway, within the Little Haiti Business and Cultural District. Last month, the New York City Council ceremonially designated a section of Flatbush as ‘Little Haiti’ in recognition of the profound impact and continued presence of Haitian culture in the area.
The newly co-named Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard will be set just a few blocks from Toussaint L’ouverture Boulevard, which is located on Nostrand Avenue between Glenwood Rd.
and Flatbush Ave. The two Haitian leaders are celebrated in Haitian-American culture for their roles in establishing a free and independent Haiti.
