Nina tells her children the rich history of the delicious Soup Joumou (pumpkin soup). Prior to Haiti gaining independence from France, the slaves were forbidden from eating Soup Joumou. Jean-Jacques Dessalines declared independence from France on January 1, 1804. Today, Haitians all over the world eat the traditional dish, Soup Joumou, on January 1st as a symbol of their independence.
The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 and Toussaint was the leader. In 1802, L'Ouverture was deported to France and later died in 1803. The French force surrendered on November 18, 1803. Jean Jacques Dessalines took the throne and declared Independence on January 1st, 1804. He was assassinated on October 17, 1806 at Pont Rouge, Port-au-Prince. Haiti paved the way for other Black Nations to gain independence and abolish slavery.
