Black Republic of Letters

"A Nos Confrères" / "To Our Fellows"

Translation:

In the name of Haiti and of the Black Race, La Fraternité, the first Haitian newspaper written in Paris, greets the Press of the whole World.

It presents special and sincere thanks to l'Évènement, to La Liberté coloniale, to Le Rappel, to Le National, to Le Temps, to Les Débats, to La France, and to La Paix, newspapers of the Parisian Press; to the Courrier des Etats-Unis; to all of the Canadian Press, for the impartiality and benevolence with which they have dealt with all questions concerning the cause of Black people.

Entirely devoted to the defence of the principles of justice and liberty, this newspaper only aspires to the lightening of spirits, to the union of peoples whose role, affirmed by this beautiful law of human solidarity, is to help one another, in order to march more effectively toward the conquest of the progresses of civilization.
