Скачать или смотреть King Henri Christophe of Haiti | The Black Hamlet Pt. 1 (1949 Destination Freedom Story)

In 1949, the groundbreaking radio series Destination Freedom aired a haunting episode titled “Black Hamlet” — the tragic story of King Henri Christophe of Haiti.

Once a revolutionary general who helped free his people from slavery, Christophe rose to become the first king of independent Haiti.
His reign was marked by vision — he built schools, fortresses, and a dream of Black sovereignty — but also by pride, paranoia, and betrayal.
His life echoed the themes of Shakespeare’s Hamlet: power, madness, and the ghosts of conscience.

This restored and enhanced 1949 recording brings back one of radio’s most profound explorations of freedom, leadership, and tragedy.
Part of the History of Black Excellence series, this episode honors the Haitian king who dared to build a nation on his own terms.
