Food for the Journey with Theressa Rice
As African Americans made their way to Kansas, what foods came with them? Theressa’s presentation is rooted in stories—stories from her history, her grandparents farm, her family’s migration from Oklahoma and Texas, and the food that graced the table for the Sunday Supper once they reached their destination. Some stories might sound familiar — hunting for rabbits, frying up chickens, boiling potatoes dug straight from the ground, and picking berries off the vine to make into a delicious pie.

The talk is free but reservations are required.
