Cancelled: The Newlin Series: “Seeing the Enslaved Cook"

Behind the Stereotypes & the Myths

PLEASE NOTE: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we must regretfully cancel this program. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to be able to reschedule it in the future.


Enslaved cooks frequently appear in the historical record, but the lack of personal information about them often leaves us with a problematic view. Historic cooks Jerome Bias & Karen Becker will look at enslaved cooks as skilled tradespeople. In addition to the presentation, they will also be offering video demonstrations of traditional African and African American cooking, in lieu of the scheduled "History at Work" demonstration. These videos will be posted on NGM's Facebook page that weekend!
