2:00 PM Saturday 6 August, 2011
The DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 East 56th Place
Join us for an afternoon of dialogue and discussion about food &
cultural history!
What is the meaning of "soul food"? How is it connected to Black
history? We will explore southern-inspired food traditions and their
contemporary impact with three special guest speakers:
* Tim Black, historian and author of Bridges of Memory: Chicago’s
First Wave of Great Migration
* Dara Cooper, Senior Project Manager at Fresh Moves, a mobile grocery
traveling Chicago's west side.
* Audrey Petty, author of “Late-Night Chitlins With Momma”, which was
selected for inclusion in Best Food Writing 2006 and Cornbread Nation
4.
* Discussion with the speakers will be moderated by American Studies
scholar Vincent Stephens, Phd.
Sign language interpreters will be provided. Please be advised that
this event is FREE but regular admission fees to the museum apply.
Those not wishing to enjoy the exhibits that day may enter the
auditorium from the Harold Washington entrance of the museum facing
Cottage Grove Ave, which is accessible for wheelchairs.
