Sylvain summarized the Almanac article with pride while imploring President Sténio Vincent to uphold his word, unlike past leaders who were negligent in their attention to the national monument. She suggested that an asphalt road be paved from Cap-Haïtien to Milot and that tourists’ investments be used to cover the cost of restoration of several rooms within the structure for a King Henry Christophe museum — the proposal married revolutionary commemoration with economic pragmatism, the fortress serving simultaneously as shrine and revenue stream.
