For God's Sake

In 1804, the slaves on the island of Haiti executed a successful slave revolt, creating the second independent American country (after the U.S. in the 1700s). Legend has it, that the success of this revolt is due to power granted by the spirits of Voodoo. Voodoo, a religion from Northwestern Africa, is practiced around the world especially in Haiti and New Orleans. Had this religion been completely misconstrued by Western Media? This week we'll talk about Voodoo, Hoodoo, and the legend of Zombies.
