>Haiti's first Head of state Jean-Jacques Dessalines called Polish people "the White Negroes of Europe", which was then regarded a great honour as it meant brotherhood between Poles and Haitians after Polish Legionnaires joined the black Haitian slaves during the Haitian Revolution. >Dessalines also gave the Poles a special status as Noir (legally considered to be black) and full citizenship under the Haitian constitution. To this day their descendants still live there.
