The class set out to view the current exhibition, "African/American: Making the Nation’s Table." The exhibition provided essential insight into the role African Americans play(ed) in crafting our nation's cultural and culinary identities and demonstrated first-hand the vitality of Black foodways.
 
The "Shoebox Lunch" provided an additional depth of experience as students sampled recipes from a top African American chef.
