In 1791, enslaved people rose up and took control. They defeated armies, abolished slavery and made a new country: Haiti. For one night only, Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture (played by actor Shelton Makora) will be at Glasgow’s Riverside Museum to tell his incredible story, with a range of hands-on activities.
