Today she lies. although in satisfactory condition. at St. Marys Hospital in east St. Louis. on the 27th day of a fast. She entered this fast in protest to the treatment of the Haitian boat people which my colleague. Mr. STOKES. just mentioned. She pledged to take nothing but cranberry juice and water until our Government ceases and desists from deporting these unfortunate souls back to Haiti. She is now 82. but she demonstrated her love for Haiti and the Haitian culture. and it inspired much of her work. She has had a loje affair with Haiti beginning in the 1930s.
