Obama's Fact Sheet on Haiti as a Key Partner

MIAMI, USA (defend.ht) - The Obama for America campaign has published a Haitian fact sheet, in English and Creole, describing U.S. President Barack "Obama's commitment to Haiti as a key partner in the region."

The fact sheet comes during this month of June, the seventh annual Caribbean American Heritage Month. During this time the U.S. government is recognizing a diversity of contributions to the United States by Caribbean Americans.
