When you think of Thanksgiving, you probably picture the familiar American celebration—turkey dinners, family gatherings, and stories passed down through generations. But have you ever wondered if this holiday is celebrated differently around the world? Or if it holds a deeper, more diverse meaning for communities with roots across the globe?
On Sunday, November 24th, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, we invite you to the African American Museum in Philadelphia for “Brunch at AAMP: A Taste of the Diaspora” where you can dive into a one-of-a-kind experience celebrating Thanksgiving traditions from St. Lucia, Grenada, and the United States. Picture this: a vibrant brunch menu with dishes that fuse familiar favorites with flavors from these regions —each delectable bite telling a unique story of cultural heritage and tradition.
Sip on a refreshing rum punch or classic mimosa from our Kitty on Top Bar or choose a creative mocktail if you prefer to keep things light. The atmosphere will be filled with rich aromas, inviting you to sit back, indulge, and enjoy the warmth of community.
After brunch, settle in for a lively panel discussion featuring thought leaders and storytellers who will take you on a journey through the varied Thanksgiving traditions of the Diaspora. Hear how this holiday is embraced and reinterpreted in St. Lucia, Grenada, and the U.S., and discover the deep connections between these cultures and the meanings they attach to the holiday.
This is more than just a brunch—it’s an immersive journey that celebrates the rich traditions and voices of the African Diaspora.
