- Summary
- "Toya was a brave revolutionary freedom fighter in the bloody war to destroy slavery and create a new nation conceived in the day's most enlightened concept-- universal liberty for all. Even more, Toya was also the revolutionary Mother of the Republic of Haiti, because of her inspirational contributions to decisive victory. Significantly, she was the surrogate mother of the hard-fighting Haitian leader who won independence for his people, which was declared on January 1, 1804. Today, the heroic legacy of "Gran Toya" has continued to live on in the hearts and minds of the Haitian people, who still revere her name, courage, and inspirational legacy."--
