Check out Afrocrowd's new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4quCf3ygYac">training video</a> on our YouTube page. It's also broken down in smaller modules, including an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lptQ-_7n4qs&t=1s">intro to Afrocrowd</a> and to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrEJT_iWiDk">what Wikipedia is</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
We put the basics of wikipedia editing in there (including <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFWwyHteYFs">adding images</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2hzJH6bzhY">citations</a>) but we are most excited about all the stuff that makes Afrocrowd Afrocrowd: making full use of the availability of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azQQ6Ul_rNI">languages of the African diaspora</a>, including<a href="https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paj_Prensipal"> Haitian Creole</a>, and embarking on the movement's journey to meet its goal of knowledge equity by 2030, which means integration of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TTcMiZNK6g&t=1s">oral knowledge</a> into the largest online encyclopedia.<br />

<br />
<br />
Enjoy the videos but also make sure to join Afrocrowd in-person meetups wherever you are, whether in New York, London, Paris or Spain. (Let me know if you want to me added to our monthly newsletter to receive dates and/or check out our <a href="http://afrocrowd.org/">website</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/afrocrowdit?lang=en">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/afroCROWD/">Facebook</a> often.)<br />
<br />
As to the future of the podcast, stay tuned, as I continue to ponder its continuation.<br />
<br />
Love you all!<br />

<br />
<br />
The first Legacy of 1804 show was held<a href="http://www.kiskeacity.com/2013/10/lof-1804-show-1-with-guest-katia-ulysse.html"> 10/4/2013</a> and I have played over 225 live episodes on just about every Friday night since. Friday nights are becoming harder and harder for me because of other commitments so I need some time to figure out what the new broadcasting schedule should look like or even if there are other formats to pursue. I also need a broadcasting vacation, i.e. a period of about a month or so to relax, rejuvenate and experiment, the best strategy to unleash one's creativity.<br />
<br />
I will therefore be taking my first month off from live Friday night broadcasting in over 4 years starting tonight and plan to relish it. I encourage you to check out old episodes if you miss our chatter and welcome feedback and suggestions about the show and what you would like to see on it or how you would like to see it evolve or change in the comment section. The more feedback I get from you, the more productive and creative my time off should be.<br />
<br />
As I experiment, I may post excerpts of commentary on Haiti that I find interesting or even pre-recorded commentary on days other than Fridays so please continue to check periodically or <a href="http://www.kiskeacity.com/p/subscribe.html">sign up to get email updates! </a><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">POST-SHOW HIGHLIGHTS</span></b><br />
<br />
We discussed Brian's progressive vision in contrast to Mathieu Eugène's track record over the past 10 years and the many missed opportunities for the 40th council district during those years. We also talked about how Brian plans to solve the affordable housing crisis plaguing Brooklyn: not taking campaign funds from real estate developers unlike his opponent and developing more city-owned affordable housing. Brian also discussed his immigrant background and the many years that his mother spent undocumented, identifying ice raids as a major challenge for his district.<br />
<br />
If Brian wins on Tuesday, which we hope he does, it will be a major upset for politics as usual in NYC local races. A lifelong Democrat, he is running on the Reform Party line against Democratic Party incumbent Mathieu Eugene to whom he lost the Democratic Primary by a thin margin.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">POST-SHOW HIGHLIGHTS/LIVE TWEETS</span></b><br />
<br />
We had a great and diverse conversation with former Prime Minister <b>Laurent Lamothe</b> with lots of questions from listeners and a very active tweetup which you can find below. <b>Lamothe</b> explained what bitcoin is and why he believes it is a good technology to adopt in Haiti, including by the <b>Central Bank</b> issuing a haitian cryptocurrency. Such tool would change the way the diaspora sends money, making it cheaper and could be used to streamline the process of paying for government services such as electricity. Cryptocurrencies would also foster ease of commerce among Haitians and with the world by bringing better payment systems to Haitian micro-enterprises. Lamothe expounded on the need for the diaspora to empower itself through electoral representation in the United States, including to better represent the interests of 68,000 Haitian <b>TPS holders</b>. He felt that the diaspora needs to be as focused on its empowerment in countries where they live as as they are on Haitian politics. He specifically mentioned the use of forums such as LOF1804 in Haiti and the diaspora and potential Haitian Diaspora Bitcoin Associations to educate the haitian public on cryptocurrencies.<br />
<br />
We had callers from all over the diaspora including Canada, Florida, Haiti and Boston, among others.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Many callers had technical questions about blockchain technologies generally such as smart contracts and the desirability of an eventual Haitian diaspora bitcoin bond. Other callers expressed skepticism at the propriety of going after this technology in a country where people have so many unmet needs and whether its adoption will only benefit those living in <b>Montagne Noire</b> (i.e. the elites). One caller thought that Haiti does not really have an economy but an oligarchy which controls things through monopoly. Lamothe agreed and argued that increased <b>foreign direct investment</b> could be a solution to this problem. As Lamothe served as prime minister of Haiti under the Martelly administration for two years, there were inevitably questions about his tenure, including his unmet promise to bring electricity to all Haitians in 6 months and the neo-duvalierist leanings of the Martelly administration.<br />
<br />
We closed the show discussing Lamothe's smart village project in <b>Nan Panyol </b>and his vision for Haiti going forward.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Post Show Highlights</span><br />
<br />
Hour 1: <b>Hugues Girard</b> reassured us that he and his family were spared by<b> Irma</b> and updated us on the aftermath of the hurricane in the rest of Florida, the <b>Jovenel Moïse </b>administration's modification of the <b>diaspora tax</b> after much pressure and recent protests against the administration. We then talked about Caribbean solidarity for relief efforts in <b>Puerto Rico</b> and often overlooked<b> Dominica, </b>as well as some of the politics surrounding these disasters. See live tweets below for ways to help. (For PR, click the Remezcla link.)<br />
<br />
Hour 2: <b>Darnell Benoît,</b> a teacher, introduced us to the <b>Flanbwayan Haitian Literacy Project</b> which she founded 12 years ago and manages to this day. Although I'd initially thought that the organization worked with adults, it actually focuses on high school students who have recently migrated from Haiti, do not speak English and are in danger of not graduating. Flanbwayan advocates for them at the city level, creates a haven for them, both pairing them with resources to help them graduate and providing a culture-filled environment for them after school. See live tweets below for more. Flanbwayan has a<a href="http://flanbwayan.org/"> <b>fundraiser coming up October 21 at Kinanm Lounge. </b></a><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>POST-SHOW HIGHLIGHTS</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
We discussed the case of Jean-Paul James, Haitian man who shot and killed a man in Brooklyn in an apparent act of self-defense and was arrested on his way to a flight.
We got an update on Bwa Kayiman commemorations in Brooklyn and among Haitian descendants in Cuba.Most importantly, we revisited recent Haitian migrants in Canada and their prospects as Canada seems to be slowing down their movement to larger cities. Also, what was the Haitian government delegation really doing in Canada? Potential collaboration with Canadian authorities in anticipation of eventual deportations? Note the case of Fatima Oriol whose deportation appears imminent despite her integration into Canadian life, working as a nurse and volunteering. She was hoping to reunite with her 4 children and husband in Canada but that may not pan out. On the topic of children, what will happen to those left behind in the US by parents who are now seeking asylum in Canada? Hugues Girard proposes that the Haitian community in the States do its best to be the main foster care recipients of those children if need be.
