The overthrow attempt that led Papa Doc to massacre the extended families of those involved.
This is the list of those from Jeremie, more were killed in other towns.
And that is how Papa Doc kept control, your entire family and circle will pay for your indiscretions against him.
"The J?r?mie Vespers refer to a massacre that took place in August, September and October 1964 in the Haitian town of J?r?mie. It took place after a group of 13 young Haitians calling themselves "Jeune Haiti" landed on August 6, 1964 at Petite-Rivi?re-de-Dame-Marie with the intention of overthrowing the regime of Fran?ois 'Papa Doc' Duvalier.
The 13 were: Max Armand, his brother Jacques Armand, G?rald Marie Brierre, Miko Chandler, Louis Drouin, Charles Forbin, Jean Gerdes, R?ginald Jourdan, Yvon Laraque, Marcel Numa, Roland Rigaud, Gusley Villedrouin and Jacques Wadestrand.
The massacre was called the "vespers" because many of the families killed by the regime are remembered as the families who took many aforementioned "vesper" picnic excursions.
Several of the group were from the town of J?r?mie. During two months they fought in the hills, the regime ordered the arrest and murder of Jeune Haiti's family members. 27 people were murdered, ranging in age from 85-year-old Mrs Chenier Villedrouin to 2-year-old R?gine Sansaricq.
