Thought leaders, trailblazers, rising stars and unsung heroes

The Haitian Roundtable will celebrate the 2016 edition of its 1804 List of Haitian-American Changemakers and Ones to Watch on November 12. The 1804 List recognizes 30 Haitian-Americans who have demonstrated outstanding achievement, have been proven forces for change, and have helped to create a better understanding of Haiti and the Haitian community. This year’s list includes a renowned authority on pediatric AIDS, a composer who is transforming choral music, the president of a historically-black university, a White House official, a Miami judge, a foundation officer, a TV network correspondent, an entertainment industry powerhouse and several entrepreneurs.

For the first time in the history of the 1804 List, the Haitian Roundtable will present the Catherine Flon Award in honor of the heroic woman who sewed the first Haitian flag. The inaugural recipient of the Catherine Flon Award is legendary performing artist Emeline Michel.
