Freedom Soup
Tami Charles
A family marks the New Year by cooking a traditional Haitian soup. Ti Gran teaches her granddaughter Belle the recipe she learned as a child and shares the story of Haitian independence. The tradition of eating the soup reaches back to the Haitian Revolution, so their kitchen celebration also opens a discussion of Haiti’s history of slavery. Maracas and dancing footsteps accompany the family’s preparations.
