This free, interactive event, which is a continuation of a comprehensive oral history project that launched in 2019, celebrates Black foodways and culture. Dig in for lively food demonstrations, a panel discussion about food deserts and the emergence of community fridges during the pandemic, and an intimate conversation with Food Historians Tonya Hopkins and Dr. Jessica Harris (of the new Netflix hit High on the Hog) that explores the comfort of Black foodways from throughout the diaspora.
