Félix Morisseau-Leroy (13 March 1912 – 5 September 1998), was a Haitian writer who wrote in Haitian Creole for poetry and plays, the first significant writer to do so. By 1961 he succeeded in having Creole
recognized as an official language of Haiti, after expanding its teaching in schools and use in creative literature.
Morisseau also published works on French, Haitian Creole and Haitian French literature.
He worked internationally, encouraging the development of national literature in post-colonial Ghana and Senegal.
In 1981 he settled in Miami, Florida, where he was influential in uniting the Haitian community around Creole
and encouraged its study in academia.
