Last year more than 5,000 people in Haiti were killed in gang-related violence. The country has been in a political crisis for years. And for Haitians in the U.S. with feet in two worlds, reality in both countries is unstable.
To better understand the story, public radio stations in the three cities with the largest Haitian populations in America are teaming up to open the phones and hear from Haitian listeners. Brian Lehrer (WNYC), with Saraya Wintersmith (GBH News), and Tim Padgett (WLRN), will host the 90-minute special Haiti On The Line, which will air live across all three stations, and a transcript of the program translated into Haitian Creole will be made available following the broadcast.
