Drapo Nou se Fyète Nou / Our Flag Is Our Pride: A Haitian Flag Day Celebration
May 17 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Join the Haitian Network Group of Detroit (HNGD) and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History for Drapo Nou se Fyète Nou / Our Flag Is Our Pride — a joyful and meaningful commemoration of Haitian Flag Day. Through drum performance, folkloric dance, spoken word, documentary screening, and a celebration of Haiti’s legendary sheroes, this program invites everyone — Haitian, diaspora, and allies alike — to honor the resilience, cultural pride, and enduring unity that the Haitian flag represents.
This is a space to learn, to celebrate, and to be moved. It is a space to affirm that Haiti’s story is not only a story of struggle — it is a story of extraordinary triumph. And it is a story that belongs to all of us who believe that unity is, and has always been, our greatest strength.
Program highlights include: Live drum and folkloric dance performances · Documentary screening of Age of Revolutions: The Haitian Revolution · Spoken word · Musical tribute · History presentation · Reception featuring a taste of Haitian culture · Light refreshments
This is a free event. Seating is limited. RSVP by May 8, 2026, or call 313-268-9250 with any questions.
