1926: (Addie Hunton’s Trip to Haiti and the Publication of Occupied Haiti — The Transnational Networks Being Also a Project of Repair Refiguring Black Girls and Women Beyond Vulnerability and Physical Injury, Through the Effort to Heal Black Women’s Corporeal and Discursive Collective Experiences Haitian and US African American Women Helping to Shape Black International Politics, the ICWDR Investing Resources in Investigative Trips — Addie Hunton’s 1926 Trip to Haiti Where Malbranche-Sylvain and Hudicourt Escorted Her Around Port-au-Prince, the Trip Resulting in the 180-Page Occupied Haiti Concluding the US Military Should Leave Immediately): This was also a project of repair. The transnational networks refigured Black girls and women beyond vulnerability and physical injury. Through the effort to heal Black women’s corporeal and discursive collective experiences, Haitian and US African American women helped to shape the meaning of Black international politics of the period. The ICWDR invested a large portion of their resources into investigative trips. One of the most important was Addie Hunton’s 1926 trip to Haiti. When Hunton arrived, Eugénie Malbranche-Sylvain and Thérèse Hudicourt escorted her around Port-au-Prince — the same women who had led two hundred marchers through those streets six years earlier now guided an American investigator through the landscape of occupation violence. The trip resulted in the 180-page publication Occupied Haiti: Being the Report of a Committee of Six Disinterested Americans Representing Organizations Exclusively American, Who, Having Personally Studied Conditions in Haiti in 1926, Favor the Restoration of the Independence of the Negro Republic. The team concluded that the US military should leave Haiti immediately. The document’s very title was a counternarrative to the occupation’s claim of benevolence — Americans themselves, having seen what their government had wrought, demanded withdrawal.
