Today marks the 170th anniversary of the Republic’s independence from Haiti. After being under Haiti’s rule for 22 years, the Dominican Republic gained its independence in 1844 after the Dominican War of Independence.

The country has since adopted a representative democracy. * How do you think the histories of racism, slavery, colonialism, and occupation are still impacting race relations today?
