Who was Maurice Sixto?

Maurice Alfrédo Sixto was a professor, a translator, tour guide and ambassador.

The son of an engineer, Maurice Alfredo Sixto and Maria Bourand, he attended St Louis de Gonzague for his secondary studies; upon graduation he attended l'Academie Militaire where he remained for only three months. He eventually studied at the Faculte de Droit from 1948–1945 while working for Radio HHBM.

Sixto will be remembered in Haitian culture for his contributions to oral literature. His ability to use rich, descriptive, and iconic Haitian Creole create a narrative that displays the true face of Haitian culture.

Sixto prefaces every story with Regards sur choses et gens entendu.
