Please note, this event is sold out as of February 11. We hope you will join us at a future Taste of the Diaspora event.
The City’s Ad-Hoc Committee on African American Disparity (ACAAD), in conjunction with the Office of Business Opportunity and Greensboro Cultural Center, hosts Taste of the African Diaspora at 5:30 pm on Thursday, February 26, at the African American Atelier, 200 N. Davie St. #14. Registration is required for this event.
The gathering is part of the Human Rights Department's Taste of the Diaspora: Foodways & Futures, a four-part cultural mixer series that celebrates heritage through diaspora foodways, community storytelling, and arts engagement, while strengthening public awareness of City resources and civic engagement opportunities.
The Taste of the African Diaspora celebrates Black history and culture with foods inspired by African culture prepared by local chefs, African American art, and cultural performances. Future events will center on Pacific Islands/Asian heritage (May 21), Hispanic heritage (September 24), and Eurasian heritage (November 18).
The ACAAD seeks to address barriers that prevent the success of Greensboro’s African American residents. Learn more about the commission at www.greensboro-nc.gov/acaad.
