HONEYMOON IN HAITI

 

A much younger Bill and Hillary Clinton spent their honeymoon in Haiti. For a few inhabitants of this desperately impoverished Caribbean island, the honeymoon never ended. As Pulitzer Center grantee Jonathan Katz notes in a feature story for Politico Magazine, "the world's most powerful couple have an abiding interest in this out-of-the-way place; the island where Bill Clinton four decades ago recommitted himself to politics after an eye-opening journey and an evening with a Vodou priest. During her tenure at State, Hillary traveled to Haiti four times, as often as she did Japan, Afghanistan or Russia."

 

Jonathan and photojournalist Allison Shelley document the key role the Clintons have played in Haiti over the decades, from picking its national leaders to driving hundreds of millions of dollars in private aid, investment and U.S. taxpayer money toward its development. The couple's network of power and money can be felt in almost every aspect of the Haitian economy.
