Weeksville Heritage Center

9 Exciting Ways To Celebrate Juneteenth In NYC 2021 - New York - The Infatuation

"Even if you’re not in the city this weekend, or haven’t been doing a lot of in-person events, you can still participate in the Weeksville Heritage Center’s free Juneteenth programming, Meals As Collective Memory. The schedule has everything from a demo on how to pull off a Sunday dinner party from Chef Omar Tate of Honeysuckle Projects, to a session on Central Brooklyn’s community fridges during the pandemic, and a conversation with legendary food historian (and the writer of High On The Hog, the book that inspired the recent Netflix show of the same name) Dr. Jessica B. Harris about Black diasporic foodways. You can see the schedule, which runs from 12:30-4pm on Saturday, June 19th, here." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
