Purchase tickets to African/American: Making the Nation's Table. Open until July 17, 2022, Thursday-Sunday 11am-6pm at The Africa Center at Aliko Dangote Hall, this long-awaited exhibition celebrates over 400 years of African American contributions to American cuisine.
 
African American contributions to our nation's culinary culture are foundational and ongoing. For over 400 years, African Americans have inspired our country's food through their skill, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Black foodways have shaped much of what we farm, what we cook, what we drink, and where we eat.

When Nicole Taylor became the executive food editor at Thrillist in 2019, she was one of the few Black women to lead a mainstream food publication and the first in digital media. An Athens, Georgia, native living in Brooklyn, New York, her Up South Cookbook plays with classic Southern recipes.
 
Each week we share the story of an African American culinary hero from our Legacy Quilt, telling the often overlooked history of the countless Black farmers, chefs, food and drink producers, who have laid the foundation for American food culture. The Quilt is part of our current exhibition, African/American: Making the Nation's Table.
