1946: (Yvonne Sylvain’s Savings Held by Sadie Alexander — In 1946 When There Was Governing Uncertainty for Nine Months Sadie Alexander Holding Yvonne Sylvain’s Savings Several Hundred Dollars in Her US Bank Account — However Most Women Did Not Have International Friendships to Buffer Financial Uncertainty and with No Labor Unions Legally Sanctioned in Haiti Until After 1946 the LFAS Women Using Alliances with Legislators Like St. Aude to Intervene on Their Behalf): In 1946, when there was governing uncertainty for nine months, Sadie Alexander held Yvonne Sylvain’s savings — several hundred dollars — in her US bank account.
