What We Should All Know About Our History
History is more than just names and dates—it is the story of who we are, where we come from, and the spirit that has shaped our identity. Curaçao has long been a cradle of resilience, a land where people—both free and enslaved—fought for justice and self-determination. Yet, much of our past remains hidden, erased, or distorted, leaving us with unanswered questions and incomplete narratives.
One of the most overlooked yet crucial figures in this history is General Manuel Carlos Piar. His story is one of courage, betrayal, and ultimate injustice. Why was he treated differently from others in the independence movement? Why was he executed when others were spared? Was race a factor in his fate? These are the tough questions that have lingered for too long, the ones that many have hesitated to ask—until now.

Cracking the Hard Nuts of History
We are not here to repeat the sanitized versions of history. We are here to ask the difficult questions, confront the uncomfortable truths, and challenge the official narratives. Why was Piar treated differently? Why was his legacy not honored in the same way as others? What does this say about our own historical consciousness?
For too long, Curaçao and the wider Caribbean have been told a version of history that does not fully reflect our struggles, our sacrifices, and our role in shaping the fight for freedom. This website is a bold step toward changing that. It is not just an archive—it is a living, breathing call to action for all who seek to understand and reclaim our past.
