In 1824, more than 300 African-Americans chartered a boat to Samana, Dominican Republic, from Philadelphia. They were part of a larger wave lured to the island of Hispaniola by President Jean-Pierre Boyer, one of the leaders of the Haitian Revolution. All passengers on that original ship to Samana obtained their freedom by escaping the slave-owning South or by purchasing their own freedom papers. They hailed from A.M.E. churches in the South and throughout the Eastern Seaboard. Their surnames continue to be common throughout the port town, and for older community members, their churches remain places through which to preserve their shared history, cultural practices and language. While the older descendents of the 1824 settlers are faced with the fear of losing touch with their history, younger descendents, who consider themselves Dominican and speak only Spanish, realize they have a history with roots in African-American culture that they feel pressure to preserve. @mychivas took this photo of the St. Peter's Evangelical Church.
