Jean-Bertrand Aristide was born in Port-Salut, Sud, Haiti. He is a Haitian priest and politician who became Haiti's first democratically elected president. A proponent of liberation theology, he was appointed to a Roman Catholic parish in Port-au-Prince in 1982 after completing his studies to become a priest of the Salesian order. He won the Haitian general election between 1990 and 1991, with 67% of the vote and was briefly president of Haiti, until a September 1991 military coup. He was then president again from 1993-1994, from 1994 to 1996, and from 2001 to 2004. He was educated at the Collège Notre-Dame in Cap-Haïtien, graduating with honors in 1974.
