Black Heritage Keynote: Adrian Miller, Soul Food: A surprising look into this American cuisine

The Office of Alumni Relations and the Division of Diversity and Inclusion invites you and a guest to our Black Heritage Month Keynote Speaker, Adrian Miller.

Adrian Miller, is a food writer, attorney and certified barbecue judge who lives in Denver, CO. Soul Food: you may think that you know the true history of soul food, but you probably don't. Adrian traces the journey of this cuisine from West Africa to the American West by showing what people of West African heritage ate before European contact, during The Middle Passage, during slavery in the American South, after Emancipation, and while migrating and settling in other parts of the United States. He ends by identifying the current and future trends in soul food. In the end, you'll see that soul food is healthier than its current image suggests. Adrian will also be giving us a cooking demonstration. Following the presentation, the audience will have an opportunity to sample a delicious soul food.
