“Soul Food Junkies” at Magnolia Gardens

Event Details

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens will screen Byron Hurt’s provocative “Soul Food Junkies” during the Black History Month program, “Slavery to Freedom: A Testament of Time.”

This new film promises to feed (pun intended) a conversation about the role soul food plays in African-American culture and issues of health and food disparity in communities of color.

Through candid interviews with soul food cooks, historians, and scholars, as well as with doctors, family members, and everyday people, “Soul Food Junkies” puts this culinary tradition under the microscope to examine both its positive and negative consequences.

12 pm film screening, lectures and concurrent demonstrations will take place from 10 am to 3 pm at the cabins.
