Food on the table brings families and communities together. This event, in partnership with Haley House, deals with food culture as a means to start a willing dialogue of healing. As the participants eat from a menu of traditional African-American dishes, speakers will comment on the history, politics and celebration of food. Participants are invited to bring their own picnic blanket and a favorite recipe to share.
Speakers: Nina LaNegra, Fulani Haynes

The Meeting House is a platform for inspiring new ideas in relation to the intractable structures of racial discrimination and segregation. Based on houses constructed by the first free Africans in Concord (1770’s) the pavilion structure creates an open, transparent framework that points to the future. The Meeting House will host a series of public programs, entitled Lyceum 2016, inviting visitors to break out of the narratives that keep us from imaging and producing the equitable social relations that we seek.
