JOIN THE DISCUSSION
Since the early 1600’s, the African American culture has had a long and complicated relationship with food.
Join us as Dr. David Simmons, renowned food and health anthropologist from the University of South Carolina, leads a discussion on how food was used as both a reward and a punishment system for Africans in America.
Explore how that reality helped to shape the African American experience to food today while learning more about the legacy of food innovation born out of a mixture of joy and pain that has long thrived in the African American community.
