Do you salivate over fried chicken, grits and greens? Like to tailgate with ribs, pig’s feet and chit’lins? Food traditions are hard to change, especially when they’re passed on from generation to generation. Baffled by his dad’s unwillingness to change his traditional soul food diet in the face of a health crisis, filmmaker Byron Hurt (HIP HOP: BEYOND BEATS AND RHYMES) sets out to learn more about this rich culinary tradition and its relevance to black cultural identity.
Discussion to follow with Alice Randall, author of The Wind Done Gone and Ada’s Rules; Dawn Freeman, certified health and nutrition coach; and Carol Batey, owner of Good Vibrations Cooking. Reception features a healthy soul food tasting from Zawadi Feasts Catering.
Free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first serve (no RSVPs). Discounted parking available in the library garage
ITVS Community Cinema practices access for all. Please contact Joe Pagetta (jpagetta@wnpt.org ) by Thursday, January 17, for accessibility or accommodation requests.
