EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and resilience of Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince, as it once was, with the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption standing proudly in the heart of the bustling marketplace and square. Dated circa 1920, the image showcases the intricate architectural details of the cathedral, its tall spires reaching towards the sky, and the vibrant energy of the marketplace below, filled with merchants and locals going about their daily lives. However, this serene scene was forever changed on January 12, 2010, when a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale. The earthquake caused widespread destruction throughout the country, leaving hundreds of thousands dead and millions more displaced. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption was among the many iconic structures that crumbled to the ground, leaving only rubble and memories behind. Despite the devastation, the people of Haiti have continued to rebuild and reclaim their city. Today, the site of the cathedral stands as a reminder of the past, a symbol of hope, and a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Haitian people. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and culture of Haiti, and the resilience of its people in the face of adversity.
