In new series, Haitian Americans in Springfield tell their own stories: Haitians in the Heartland
In a 2024 presidential debate, President Trump famously — and falsely — claimed that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio were “eating the pets.”
A new series (Haitians in the Heartland) highlights the voices of Haitian Americans in Springfield as they share stories of resilience, cultural identity and adaptation. Each episode offers a look into their experiences, from immigration journeys to building a sense of belonging in America. The project celebrates the strength and vibrancy of Springfield’s Haitian diaspora.
