Legendary culinary historian Jessica B. Harris will reflect on her celebrated life enriched by her fortuitous proximity to a luminous circle of friends that included Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison and their shared commitment to activism, intellectual engagement, and each other. Among her many accomplishments, Dr. Harris served as the inaugural chair and scholar-in-residence of the Ray Charles Program in African-American Material Culture at Dillard University in New Orleans and conceptualized the restaurant at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
