Georges Anglade

Georges Anglade (July 18, 1944 – January 12, 2010) was a Haitian-Canadian geographer, writer and politician. A strong opponent of the Duvalier régime in Haiti, Anglade was imprisoned for political reasons in 1974 and fleed the country upon release. In 1991, after the coup against Aristide he had to leave the country for a second time.

Anglade was born in Port-au-Prince, where he attended the École normale supérieure and the law faculty. He spent much of his adult life in exile in Quebec, where he was instrumental in founding the Department of Geography at the Université du Québec à Montréal.

Death

Anglade was killed alongside his wife, Mireille Neptune Anglade, a woman's rights activist, in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. They were at the home of prominent economist Phillipe Rouzier and his wife, Marilyse Rouzier's, house when the home collapsed. Philippe Rouzier was also killed. Mireille and Georges's house located in the same ancestral domain in Port-au-Prince also collapsed.^[1]
