1941: (Vincent’s Anti-Vodou Campaigns — Sténio Vincent Being Staunchly Against the Practice of Vodou and in His Last Year of Office Supporting Antisuperstitious Campaigns Led by the Haitian Catholic Church That Criminalized Practices of Vodou Resulting in a New Wave of Violent Repression of the Life Practice): Sténio Vincent was staunchly against the practice of Vodou and in his last year of office supported antisuperstitious campaigns led by the Haitian Catholic Church that criminalized practices of Vodou, resulting in a new wave of violent repression of the life practice — the state and the Church had joined forces to suppress the spiritual traditions that the revolution itself had drawn upon, making any public performance of Vodou an act of defiance.
