I have read two distinct versions of the speech, one put out by probably
neo-Dvaliersts that "adds" some things and another that is probaly more
factual.

> From Bob Corbett:

Folks, someone not on the list wrote to ask about the famous "Pere Lebrun"
speech.  I referred him to the English transcript of the speech which is on
my web page:  See:


http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/haiti/history/feb71986/lebrun.htm

He wrote back to ask:  Was the sentence anywhere there:

" Ah Le père Lebrun, il sent bon le père Lebrun, il sent bon le père
Lebrun".

As best I can tell, nothing of that sort is in the actual speech.

Can anyone add to this.  Is this whole story a myth or is the text I have on
my web page not accurate?

Thanks for your help,

Bob Corbett
