Which heroine in Haiti's history is famous for sewing the first Haitian flag at the Congress of Arcahaie in 1803?

100% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Catherine Flon

Catherine Flon is an iconic and inescapable figure of the Haitian Revolution and national heritage. On May 18, 1803, at the famous Congrès de l 'Arcahaie gathering the fathers of the homeland, she made a highly symbolic gesture by assembling the first Haitian flag. According to popular historical tradition, Jean-Jacques Dessalines tore the French tricolor flag to remove the white band, a symbol of colonial domination. Catherine Flon then emotionally reunites the blue and red bands, thus sealing the sacred union between the fighters committed to freedom. This flag became the supreme symbol of the sovereignty, unity and pride of the world's first independent black republic. His precious and founding gesture still remains taught and celebrated throughout the Haitian nation with immense perpetual collective gratitude.
