I will be tomorrow’s keynote speaker at the Missouri History Museum’s Community Action Fair centered on food, food access, community development, sustainability and food heritage. My talk is entitled “Beaten Biscuits, Persimmons, Catfish and Rice: African American Foodways in Missouri Slavery 1719-1865.” For more information visit: http://www.mohistory.org/ See you there!

Wish I could be there! I had so much to learn about foodways in my home state…
