Meals & Memories: a Community Tasting for Black History Month

Years of history and tradition are contained in the food we eat every day. Celebrate Black History Month with food, community, and conversation. Enjoy a selection of small plates inspired by a traditional Arkansan-brunch created by Dallas chef Shanay Wise of Catering Done Wisely. 

Arrive early to scan and record family photos and memories on Dallas Public Library's mobile Vivid-Pix Memory Station. Participants will get a free USB of their digitized memories. 

Registration required.
