Thank you Jonathan Demme

Last week the international art community lost a great friend and comrade in Jonathan Demme (1944-2017).  He was a dedicated advocate of Haitian art, Caribbean art, and outsider art.  I agree with the sentiments of one way to honor Jonathan is to learn more about Haiti.  Here are a few resources I've come across that talk about Jonathan's work with Haiti, and his rich collection of Haitian art.
