The United Haitian American Society of Norwalk (UHAS) was founded in November 2001 when a group of friends from Norwalk met with the mission to elevate the Haitian American community of Connecticut and to promote the culture of Haiti throughout our state.  On August 3, 2002, UHAS was recognized on the Heritage Wall in Norwalk by the City of Norwalk, Mayor Alex Knopp. Supporters of UHAS, most notably, Alan Houston of the Knicks, the Ambassador of Haiti, Raymond Joseph and other dignitaries from Haiti were also in attendance at this momentous event.
