Father Partrick Murphy, Director of the "Casa del Migrante", which houses about a hundred Haitian refugees, explained that on the occasion of the commemoration of the independence of Haiti was served the traditional soup "Joumou" explaining that this soup that before being independent the slaves cooked it but they were forbidden to eat it.
