UC Davis Shields Library hosts Black Family Day author event
One of several related events this weekend on campus
Saturday, May 24, 1:30-3:34 p.m., Shields Library
Visit UC Davis Shields Library for a special exhibit on the history of Black Family Day at UC Davis, a talk by Professor Psyche Williams-Forson, author of Eating While Black: Food Shaming and Race in America, and wine and dessert pairing (must be 21+ to participate) hosted by CoCo Noir Wine Shop of Oakland and Midtown Bakery of Sacramento.
Psyche A. Williams-Forson is one of the leading thinkers about food in America. In Eating While Black, she offers her knowledge and experience to illuminate how anti-Black racism operates in the practice and culture of eating. She shows how mass media, nutrition science, economics, and public policy drive entrenched opinions among both Black and non-Black Americans about what is healthful and right to eat. Starkly exposing the rampant shaming and policing around how Black people eat, Williams-Forson contemplates food's role in cultural transmission, belonging, homemaking, and survival. Other Black Family Day events, activities and entertainment can be found at the website.
