African Diaspora Food Sampler

The African American and African food sampler is held during the month of February to commemorate Black History Month. Normaly we have done the African and the African American food samplers separately but we decided to combine both of them to condense our events. The combination resulted in the African Diaspora Food Sampler, a name we came up with because we wanted to include everyone with African descent who do not currently reside in Africa.
