ACC celebrates black heritage with Cajun cuisine, jazz music, and a look back at America’s Buffalo S

February is Black History Month, and with it came several events on ACC campuses.
The main focus of the events was culture, and lots of food was served to students who attended the events at Northridge, Riverside and Rio Grande campuses.

Riverside campus served up Jazz music and Cajun dishes by Greg Lee and his family.
There was also a celebration of gospel music held at Eastview earlier in the month.

The Northridge event was called “A Taste of the South,” and the café was crammed full with students waiting to sample the traditional southern dishes, including fried chicken and beans with ham hocks. Deserts were also provided, along with iced tea.

Dishes were prepared and served by faculty, staff and student volunteers.

A large donation of food for the event was made by Chick-Fil-A, who donated eight large trays of chicken nuggets.

“I wish they would do more events like this. The food is good, and does help to bring about cultural awareness on campus,” said Thomas Withers, an English major at Northridge. “It helped me become aware of a different culture. I’d never tried some of the food that was served before, and it was really good.”
