Hail to Wyclef

From the equally poignant and insipiring relatively recent release of "Welcome to Haiti: Creole 101" :

"The independence of 1804 brings us to 2004, 200 years of independence for Haitian people. So I celebrate for I will not see another 200 years. Join me in the celebration because you too will not see another celebration, but my kids will tell your kids and your kids will tell their kids so that our culture will never die." (Wyclef Jean, 2004)
