Miami (CNN) On a week during which Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood remembered thousands of Haitian earthquake victims, racially tinged remarks attributed to America's President brought some to tears. The remarks -- which Trump denied amid wide condemnation in the United States and abroad -- came during an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers. In Little Haiti, the President's remarks became a part of what's usually a solemn event. "We are here to tell President Trump, Haiti is not what he called it," she said. Adonia Simpson, a program director with the nonprofit Americans for Immigrant Justice, said Trump's remarks had filled Miami's Haitian community with "a lot of disappointment, hurt and anger."
