Mitch Albom—the longtime sports columnist for The Detroit Free Press and a bestselling author—was among a small group evacuated from Tuesday from Haiti amid widespread unrest in the Caribbean’s most populous country.
Albom, 65, described his ordeal in a Tuesday night statement.
“After two days of coordinated efforts, a group of us from the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage, including my wife and myself, were evacuated in the middle of the night from a site in Haiti (not our orphanage),” Albom said.
