Taste of the African Diaspora Event Set for February 26

The City's Ad-Hoc Committee on African American Disparity (ACAAD), in conjunction with the Office of Business Opportunity and Greensboro Cultural Center, hosts Taste of the African Diaspora at 5:30 pm on Thursday, February 26, at the African American Atelier, 200 N. Davie St. #14. Guests must register at https://www.greensboro-nc.gov/HRTickets for this free event.

The gathering is part of the Human Rights Department's Taste of the Diaspora: Foodways & Futures, a four-part cultural mixer series that celebrates heritage through diaspora foodways, community storytelling, and arts engagement, while strengthening public awareness of City resources and civic engagement opportunities.

The Taste of the African Diaspora celebrates Black history and culture with foods inspired by African culture prepared by local chefs, African American art, and cultural performances. Future events will center on Pacific Islands/Asian heritage (May 21), Hispanic heritage (September 24), and Eurasian heritage (November 18).

The ACAAD seeks to address barriers that prevent the success of Greensboro's African American residents. Learn more about the commission at https://www.greensboro-nc.gov/acaad.

The Human Rights Department promotes mutual understanding, respect, and fair treatment for all Greensboro residents, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, or familial status. For more information, visit https://www.greensboro-nc.gov/HR.
