A Haitian boy covers his head with his shirt as dirt and dust are kicked up by U.S. Marine helicopters landing in Gonaives, Haiti in October 1994, shortly before the return of the exiled President Jean Bertrand Aristide to resume power. Aristide was overthrown in a military coup d’etat three years earlier. After slapping an economic embargo on the country and watching the situation worsen dramatically, U.S. President Bill Clinton decided to return Aristide to power. Marines came into Haiti several weeks prior to the return to “clean things up.”
