François Toussaint L'Ouverture was the leader of the Haitian Revolution, a former slave from Santo Domingo (the Haitian part of the island, which was owned by France). He led the only successful slave revolt in modern history. Standing steadfastly, he fought to end slavery and gain Haiti’s independence from European powers, France and Spain. Forming an army of former slaves and deserters from the French and Spanish armies, he trained his followers in guerrilla warfare and successfully ended slavery in Hispaniola (now the shared island of the Dominican Republic and Haiti) by 1795. Because of his efforts, the island of Hispaniola became the first country to be founded by former slaves. Toussaint L'Ouverture was a symbol of change across the world, and encouraged many, including those in the United Sates, to question the morality of slavery.
The West Bridgewater Debate Team participated in rounds 7 and 8 of the debate season this past wednesday. It proved to be two tough rounds for the team.

Despite this Gina Valante, Kaytlyn Lockwood, Chris Nenopoulos and Elise Puliafico are commended on their high speaker points in the round.
