Ernest Elizee - The Haitian Diplomat who help make the African Union
Búsqueda de identidad: ¿existe una relación entre el país de origen de la diáspora y el nuevo país? ¿Cómo expresa la diáspora su sentido de pertenencia en diferentes sociedades?, La diáspora ayuda a sus comunidades: ¿Cómo se puede ayudar a las comunidades en tiempos de crisis?
My great-grandfather, Ambassador Ernest Elizee, travelled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1961 to help construct the Organization of African Unity, the precursor to the African Union. Ernest was an Haitian Ambassador who spoke seven languages. He represented the first independent African Diaspora nation from colonial rule (Haiti) to the only African nation unconquered by colonialism (Ethiopia). In this photo, he was saluted by the Ethiopian army that fought of Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia while on his way to greet former Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Salassie.

Ernest enjoyed his time living in Addis Ababa and brought Salassie on state trips to the United Nations and Haiti. Ernest's experiences and multilingual abilities resulted in his appointment for being the Deen of the Ethiopian Diplomatic Corps. This photograph has inspired me to follow my great-grandfather's footsteps, to travel overseas in Africa and present my social entrepreneurship efforts at the United Nations.
