Actually, both of Joseph's children were born in France. Also, the mother of Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche was a descendant of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, who ruled the First Empire of Haiti (1804-1806). Third, the President of Haiti at the time when the RMS Titanic sank was Cicinnatus Leconte. The now late President Leconte was Joseph's blood uncle.
@@blackhistory767There is a biography by Serge Bilé (Black French writer) available in English “Black Man of the Titanic: The Story of Joseph Laroche”. Thank you for your wonderful presentation of this important part of Black history
These are black people from France. Most people are unaware that most of Haiti population are from France and no slaves from Africa we’re in the West Indies
My direct blood relative, is my grand mom's nephew. Joseph La Roche is my 2nd cousin, on my mom's side. La Roche (aka Roche, Roches, Roach) are my DNA family my mom's great grand mom was a La Roche. We are not only Black, we are mixed with, French, Dutch, India (of India) and Jamaica (Latin-Caribbeans). We came from wealth and Royalty. My family are the de la Roche family was a French noble family named for La Roche-sur-l'Ognon in Burgundy, France that founded the Duchy of Athens 1204 and held it for just over a century. Our etymology is "of the Rock" in French in reference to the place of origin. And, our place of origin, after Africa is La Roche-sur-l'Ognon. We are the Duchy of Athens, Fourth Crusade. My Great grand father was the Founder, Othon de la Roche of our European cadet branch kingdom. and we also have the distinctions of Dukes (European nobility). Our la Roche family bears for arms: five points gules equipolated to four or. The Princes of Achaia and the Chronicles of Morea is my direct relative. I will be back with or African Kingdom branch, our Haitian, Latin/Jamaican, Dutch and French branch details. Here is European branch detail: Kingdom of Burgundy was a name given to various states located in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. The historical Burgundy correlates with the border area of France and Switzerland and includes the major modern cities of Geneva and Lyon. As a political entity, Burgundy existed in a number of forms with different boundaries, notably, when it was divided into Upper and Lower Burgundy and Provence. Two of the entities, the first around the 6th century and the second around the 11th century, were called the Kingdom of Burgundy. At other times were the Kingdom of Provence, the Duchy of Burgundy and the County of Burgundy. BLACK AFRICAN DE LA ROCHES ROYAL ROOTS: MY 81st GREAT GRAND FATHER: My de la Roche DNA family royal bloodline can be traced all the way back to our Black African Roots to HM King Pharoah Sekhemre-Sementawi Djehuti of Egypt of the 17th Dynasty seized control from the Hyksos.

That genealogy is insane! Could you describe your families coat of arms or could it be found online? What does the family look like today? That must be some family reunion!
Thank you for this information ,because I know of and read the normal stories that you stated ,but I had no idea of a Black family being aboard the Titanic
I can see why, they both had afros. However, in my opinion, he looks more like Ulises Heureaux. Mr. Heureaux was a dictator who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1882 until his assassination in 1899.
No we are not , scripture and the removed books paint a different picture for gentiles . BP are the chosen according to Deuteronomy 28 curses, and the other nations will be destroyed the vast majority of them.
Wow, the Titanic dinner in honor of Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche, if it was in Chicago I would definitely attend even though I don't have any fancy Edwardian gentleman attire.
Now what does this do to uplift your identity as a Black person knowing that some Black family died on the Titanic??? Did this person do anything MEANINGFUL to help other Blacks? I doubt it--the majority of Blacks back then probably couldn't afford this trip, saving their lives in the process. Thanks though, sis. 🙂
Joseph was a young, very well educated family man with a sickly child. According to the creator of this video, he was fleeing oppression due to his race. Who knows what he would have done to enhance the lives of ALL people had he safely arrived to Haiti?? He was lined up to become an educator upon arrival. He definitely would have made a huge impact on the lives of Black people as well as other people of the world. Just my opinion.
Most if not all Haitian people are Black regardless if they characterize themselves as such or not, Black is a worldwide social construct/identifier to all melanated people of Nubian/Africoid descent
@@blackhistory767 yeah I just looked that up there is no record of an apology as for treatment of him and his family the source from his daughter and she said they were treated kindly
My third grade teacher told me about this family ❤ in the 1990s; Shoutout to Mrs. Hamilton!
Mrs. Hamilton was ahead of her time!

Thank you for this information ,because I know of and read the normal stories that you stated ,but I had no idea of a Black family being aboard the Titanic
Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche look like the character Michael Evans on the tv show 'Good Times' actor Ralph Carter
Now that yo look at it, they do favor!
I can see why, they both had afros. However, in my opinion, he looks more like Ulises Heureaux. Mr. Heureaux was a dictator who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1882 until his assassination in 1899.
Yup. He sure does!
I was thinking the same thing.
This ship was called unsinkable!
Mother Nature proved that wrong.
RIP Sir. 💐
Thank you for honoring the forgotten🎉
We have to tell our own stories! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this video. I have read about this family!
Dr. Sharon J. Willis of Americolor Opera Alliance composed and Opera based on Laroche

Look y'all! Its Michael from Good Times!
Haha. I knew that somebody would see the resemblance like i did.
@Kattkiteyez 😂
As a Baha'i I know that all humanity is one family; One teaching is the elimination of prejudice.
No we are not , scripture and the removed books paint a different picture for gentiles .
BP are the chosen according to Deuteronomy 28 curses, and the other nations will be destroyed the vast majority of them.
"He was leaving France, running away from the racism..."😅😅😅
Wow, the Titanic dinner in honor of Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche, if it was in Chicago I would definitely attend even though I don't have any fancy Edwardian gentleman attire.
😢😢😢
So, the wife took the children back to the place from which they were attempting to escape because of racism??
Yes but she was French, so she wasn’t experiencing the same racism.
@blackhistory767 yeah, but the children would still face it, I would think. So, they were only racist towards the husband?
Your wrong the Titanic sank April 14th 1912, not the 15th like you said in your commentary
It began spanking on the 14 th but completely sank on the 15th as the description underneath the video says. Thank you for watching.
Cj 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ❤🩷🩷❤
Such a shame.
🌴💚💚💚
Denzel Washington could play him they resemble each other
Laroche died at the age of 25. Washington is now in his 60s. There are definitely young & talented actors who share enough resemblance
Now what does this do to uplift your identity as a Black person knowing that some Black family died on the Titanic??? Did this person do anything MEANINGFUL to help other Blacks?

😒
Just a correction, they were Haitians not black. Nice story
Haitians aren’t Black? lol they most definitely are. Being Haitian is a nationality. Look it up if you don’t understand, which it seems you don’t.
Most if not all Haitian people are Black regardless if they characterize themselves as such or not, Black is a worldwide social construct/identifier to all melanated people of Nubian/Africoid descent
How does she know how he was treated on the ship or how slow his service was??
The White Star Line released an apology regarding their treatment. Thanks for watching.
@ how would the white star line know what happened if the ship went down?
@@blackhistory767 yeah I just looked that up there is no record of an apology as for treatment of him and his family the source from his daughter and she said they were treated kindly
Do a video on how WHITE AMERICANS GOVERNMENT invaded Haiti and took all the gold and money back in 1915.....
Yea, interesting! Will do!
Haiti wasn’t gonna do nothing but give it to France anyway
