A double portion episode as Independence was fought and WON and then Pumpkin Soup brought health and healing right afterwards until this very day!!!
Some notes for the first part, Madison Smartt Bell's trilogy of the Haitian Revolution, if you don't have time for 3 books, the first, All Souls Rising, is well worth the time!
If you want to know more about the author of the Act of Independence and his writings, he can be found with his name, Boisrond Tonnerre.
If you want to watch a documentary about the real defeat of Napolean that the movie Napolean won't give you: Jean Jacques Dessalines, the man who defeated Napoleon is a great place to go!
For the second portion of the episode, about Soup Joumou, or Freedom Soup, here's a link to a beautiful interview with Dominque Dupuy who was elected as the permanent delegate to UNESCO in 2021, when Soup Joumou was selected to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. She says in the interview with NPR: DUPUY: "This soup means everything."
And of course to know more about the Fondasyon Felicite and their work towards serving each Independence Day, Freedom Soup to thousands across the country.
Thanks to RAM and Smith Joseph for the blast of spirit filled hope in the song "Nan Ginen o, peyi a chanje" With the spirits or angels of Ginen, the country is changed.
And as always to the roots vodou band Chouk Bwa.
And beyond thanks our dearest beloved "son" for his deeply inspiring words.
May yours be blessed in every way! N a Sonje
