The Slave Dwelling Project at the Wallace House, 2023 — The Wallace Center for Arts and Reconciliation

Over 40 people attended Joe McGill’s presentation on May 20, 2023, with slightly fewer enjoying the soul food dinner created by chef Tiawana Ware. Inspired by her grandmother’s cooking, she served chicken, collard greens, fried corn, yams, field peas and macaroni and cheese, with apple cobbler for dessert. Fifteen persons participated in the conversation circle with Joe McGill, sharing their life experiences and feelings, and then slept overnight in the Wallace House. Joe McGill will return in 2024 to the Wallace House.
