“I’m Talkin’ ‘bout the Food I Sells: Charleston’s Street Vendors – Their Wares and Their Ways”
February 16 @4 p.m.
Stern Center ballroom
College of Charleston
Free and open to the public.
Noted cookbook author and food historian Dr. Jessica B. Harris will explore Africa’s connection with Charleston’s street vendor history in a lecture sponsored by Magnolia Plantation and Gardens and CofC’s Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World program.
Cart-pushing vendors through Charleston’s streets were once as much a part of the city’s cultural landscape as the single house is to the city’s architectural history, said Harris, an English professor at Queens College, City University of New York.
