Haitian Americans originate from Haiti. During the late eighteenth century many freeborn Haitians came to the United States to participate in the American Revolution. They continued to come throughout the nineteenth century and settled in New Orleans, Philadelphia, and New York City, where they contributed to the cultural and economic development of these cities. In New York, Haitians work in industries such as health care, hotels, office cleaning, and transport services. Haitians participate very actively in trade union activities in the hospital and hotel industries.
