VIDEO - Port-au-Prince in the 1940's and 1950's

Last week's senatorial elections did not have a very good voter turnout. In Port-au-Prince especially, people are discouraged with how things are. People don't have confidence that those elected to government can bring good change to how things were. Haiti used to be the "Pearl of the Antilles". Follow the link to how life in Port-au-Prince was like in the 1940's and 1950's. The video is in black and white and in french but you can sure see the contrast between now and then.
