These photos show construction, sound insulation with burlap, and studio equipment. Features Jean Dominique, his sister Micheline Billot-Dominique and her husband Jean Billot, daughter Dolores Neptune, and Miles Smith. Also includes a photo of a painting of Radio Haiti tied to a cross. The painting is from 1980, and the inscription reads (in translation): "The proverb goes: each firefly lights the way for itself [every man for himself]. We say: unity makes strength. Let's help Radio Haiti-Inter lay its cross down so that it is not crucified."
