The South Carolina State Museum is excited to announce the Fall series of Harvesting Heritage events. In partnership with award-winning Chef Amethyst Ganaway, this series of three after-hours events will highlight the past and future of creativity, innovation and artistry in Black foodways throughout South Carolina.
“I’m so excited to share our fall series of programming with the state of South Carolina and those beyond our borders to tell the stories of Black communities here,” says Chef Amethyst Ganaway. “We’ll
have lots of delicious food that represents our coastal regions and the Upstate, made from people from those places, and we’ll also have engaging conversations with panelists and an opportunity to let all of the regions of our state shine.”
The series will launch with Harvesting Heritage: Coastal Connections on Saturday, August 17th from 6:30 – 8 {: } 3 0 \mathrm { p. m } .
