"From the Gullah Coast to the Twin Cities" Workshop

About This Event

Join us for a program hosted by the Mill City Museum that explores the important role of food preservation and traditions in the African American community, bridging the gap between history, food, and fellowship. This program will be led by Chef James Johnson, owner of catering service Cooks of Hope and non-profit organization Cooks4Hope. James' culinary style is rooted in his Low-Country and Gullah Geechee tradition.

This workshop will include a screening and conversation around “The Rice Kingdom” episode of the Netflix award-winning series “High on the Hog.” Following the screening, participants will join in on a hands-on cooking demonstration where they will learn how to prepare a special Low-Country meal. Registration is required.

This event is part of Black History, Black Voices: an initiative by the Minnesota Historical Society that centers Black narratives, history, and issues through ongoing programs, content, and resources created by members of Minnesota’s Black community.
