On Wednesday night at 7, Gerald Murray, an anthropology professor at UF will speak about voodoo and Haitian culture. The forum will be in McCarthy Building B, Room G086, said Janvier. He's going to talk about the myths and clear it up. Club Creole and National Society of Black Engineers also will have a wine and cheese social at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Arredondo Room in the Reitz Union. According to Myrthil, Mardi Gras was inspired by a Haitian carnival.
Students can come in any costume.
We had a whole bunch of people to help us promote it. Let Haitian students know they have a home here. Somewhere they can go and speak their language. Janvier said he thinks clubs like Club Creole are important. There are a lot of Haitian students here direct from Haiti.
