Description
Students will be introduced to African Americans who had extremely significant contributions to American society and transformed their local communities by adding industry. This program showcases heroic African Americans who excelled in their time with perseverance, determination and willingness to make life better. Our program covers Edna Lewis, Rufus Estes, George Crum, George Washington Carver, Chef Hercules, Frederick McKinley, Alfred Cralle, Norbert Rillieux, and more. This program combines lessons, images, videos, cooking demonstrations, and equipment to explore the connections with math, science, language arts and social studies to cooking. During all of our virtual synchronous programs, students can type in questions for us to answer, which makes the programs interactive. Students will be absolutely thrilled with the African American contribution not only to culinary arts but to the entire world. By their inventions and achievements, billions of lives have been saved and joy has been brought to millions of people all over the world.
