Planet WORDS in D.C. & Immigrant Food

"If librarians were honest, they would say, No one spends time here without being changed. Maybe you should go home. While you still can”. See the 5 VIDEOS from our visit and read the WORDS on the photos for a taste of this wonderful museum.

IMMIGRANT FOOD- “United at the Table”

Immigrant Food celebrates global flavors that are now so much a part of American food, our palates and our lives and are advocates for immigrant contributions in America. Over centuries, immigrants brought their recipes and traditions to this country and reshaped what and how we eat.

With Trump back in town, owners of this restaurant, located across from the WH, will affect them. Immigrant Food hires immigrants, and partners with organizations that help immigrants. They open their doors to local NGOs as a location to teach English, hold workshops and legal clinics and offer job search services. They partner with 5 organizations to offer daily services to immigrants and advocate on their behalf. The food was creative and wonderful and the experience we had there was heart-warming and along with the hat I wear that says "American Food is Immigrant Food" has provided me with a kicking off point to discuss this topic further with others, which I have enjoyed.Weiterlesen
