Wiki Focus: Black Women in Food History
WHEN
- Tuesday, February 1, 2022
1pm-3:30pm
WHERE
- VIRTUAL EVENT
The stories of Black women in food can educate and embolden future generations, but only if their legacies are discoverable. Our Wikipedia edit-a-thon will address the marginalization and omission of Black women’s stories by creating or editing Wikipedia articles about their personal histories and inspiring careers in food businesses, culinary education, writing, advocacy, philanthropy, and beyond. This event is planned in conjunction with the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
