"Martha Wiggins of Café Reconcile brings a commitment to youth mentorship and hospitality training to the event, and she plans to slow cook field peas and collards—offering smothered sea island peas with cornbread and gulf fish ceviche—while bringing young people from Café Reconcile to learn the larger history and purpose behind Juneteenth and the feast; she says the event’s values and mission are a perfect fit and that participation happens very organically for her." - Beth D’Addono
