Meals As Collective Memory: Juneteenth Celebration 2021

Meals as Collective Memory – launched in 2019 as a partnership between Weeksville Heritage Center and the NYC Commission on Human Rights – began as an oral history project aimed at capturing the memory-making utility of food and foodways while archiving the social/culinary history behind Black-owned restaurants in Central Brooklyn. Since that time, the Covid-19 pandemic has completely shifted Black foodways in our community, forcing restaurateurs to rethink their business models, expand or restrict offerings, and in some cases even close their businesses.
