In 1937, the Dominican dictator, Rafael Trujillo, ordered the slaughter of as many as 20,000 Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent in an ethnic cleansing on the Dominican-Haitian border. Border of Lights invites artists, activists, students, parents, teachers, and clergy to gather together to honor a tragedy long forgotten, and unknown to many people.
