Three small items that are to be taken are the Bible, Recipe Book, and family album. The Bible is the foundation of the Black community here in America. You cannot forget the homemade dishes that are passes down from families. The holidays are when your family's favorite dishes of dressing, custards, collard greens, chitlings, and sweet potatoes pie. My mother and sister makes homemade pizza, coconut cake, and fried chitlings. The family album is my third choice. My cousin posted a picture on facebook of me, my brothers and sisters, and her when we were outside playing in grandma's yard. There are pictures of my grandpas, grand moms, great aunts, great uncles, and cousins.
African Culture begins in the 1600's when our ancestors were brought here. The Bible, Family Heritage, and Recipes, are the staples of the African American community. Many of my white friends are always asking me from dressing, custard and sweet potatoes pies during the holidays. I have learn one thing which is our cultures may be diverse, but food can bring us together.
