Dutty Boukman (Boukman Dutty) (died November 1791) was a slave in Haiti who was one of the most visible early leaders of the Haitian Revolution. According to some contemporary accounts, Boukman may have conducted a religious ceremony in which a freedom covenant was affirmed; this ceremony would have been a catalyst to the slave uprising that marked the beginning of the Haitian Revolution.
Dutty Boukman may have been a self-educated slave born on the island of Jamaica. Some sources indicate that he was later sold by his British master to a French plantation owner after he attempted to teach other Jamaican slaves to read, who put him to work as a commandeur (slave driver) and, later, a coach driver. His French name came from his English nickname, "Book Man," which some scholars, despite accounts suggesting that he was a Vodou houngan, have interpreted as meaning that he may have been Muslim, since in many Muslim regions the term "man of the book" is a synonym for an adherent of the Islamic faith. One scholar suggests that it is likely that Boukman "was a Jamaican Muslim who had a Quran, and that he got his nickname from this." Other scholars suggest that Boukman may have practiced a syncretic blend of traditional African religion and a form of Christianity.

Boukman was the first leader of the slave revolts that lead to the Haitian Revolution. He was killed and his head was displayed at this location in Cap Francais as a warning to the other enslaved Africans.
The Prayer of the Iman Dutty Bookman are the words spoken to the Father, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and to the children whom the Father planted on His sacred land (Ahiti [Haiti], one of the mountains of Israel), at the start of the Revolution for Freedom. Psalm 68:4 and 5," extol Him that rideth upon the heavens...," urges Bookman, as he reminds his brothers and sisters that the white man does not serve the Holy One, that the white man's god is not the Mighty One of Israel, that he is a pretender to the throne. Reports that voodoo played a role in this gathering of the enslaved blacks is a calumnious myth propagated by the French and other Europeans who's pen have never failed to vilify and demonize their enemies. This Colonial Narrative has been further embellished with wild clai...
