About this Event
Please join Northwest Tap Connection for Kitchen Talks: a series of provocative and educational conversations that speak to Plantation Living (e.g., Captivity, Enslavement, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, etc.) and the false indoctrination of myths about Brown and Black people in American History.
Series 4: Don’t Touch My Hair will discuss the fascination of black hair in White America. We will discuss the Tignon Law of 1786 and its impact to African American culture inclusive of the Pan-Africanism movement.
