Source text - English imagine all the people: Haitian immigrants in boston
The main destinations of Haitian immigrants are the Dominican Republic (where an estimated 600,000 Haitian-born immigrants reside) and the United States (with 419,317 Haitian-born immigrants, according to the 2000 Census) Canada is another popular destination, especially the French-speaking Province of Quebec.
The origin of the Haitian community in Massachusetts goes back to the late fifties and the early sixties when some Haitians fled the dictatorial regime of François Duvalier (Papa Doc). Massachusetts has the third largest Haitian community in the United States, after Florida and New York. According to a 2005 MassInc report there are an estimated 40,000 Haitians living in Massachusetts today.
Boston’s Haitian-born immigrants settled in various parts of Boston, with the highest concentrations in Mattapan, along Blue Hill Avenue, as well as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Hyde Park.
Many Haitians settled in Boston during the seventies, but during the housing boom of the eighties and the early nineties, they relocated to the suburbs. Today, it is not uncommon to find pockets of Haitians scattered throughout the South Shore and areas of Lawrence, Lowell, Framingham and Worcester.

Imigran Aysyen nan Boston
Prensipal destinasyon imigran ayisyen se Repiblik Dominiken (Kote apeprè 600,000 imigran ayisyen rete) e Etazini (avèk 419,317 Imigran ayisyen) dapre resansman ane 2000 ) [1] Canada se yon lòt destinasyon popilè, espesyalman pwovens Quebec kote yo pale Franse.
Orijin kominote ayisyèn nan Masachusetts date de fen ane senkant yo (50) e nan komansman ane swasant yo (60) lè kèk Ayisyen kouri kite peyi yo akòz rejim diktati François Duvalier (Papa Doc) Massachusetts vin an twazyèm plas kote k-gen plis imigran ayisyen nan Etazini apre Florida e New York. Dapre yon rapò MassInc pou ane 2005, gen apeprè 40,000 Ayisyen kap viv kounye-a nan Massachusetts.[2]
Imigran Ayisyen kap viv Boston rete nan divès pati nan Boston avèk pi gwo konsantrasyon an nan Mattapan, sou tout longè Blue Hill Aveni, demèm ke nan Roxbury, Dorchester e Hyde Park.
Anpil Ayisyen vin etabli yo nan Boston nan ane swasant-dis yo, men lè pri kay vin kòmanse ap monte nan ane katreven yo(80) e nan kòmansman ane katreven-dis yo (90) yo ale etabli yo lòt kote an deyò Boston. Jodi-a se nòmal pou w jwenn pakèt Ayisyen ki etabli yo nan tout South Shore e nan lòt zòn tankou Lawrence, Lowell, Framingham, e Worcester.
