Event Details

Traditional African healing practices were handed down through our sojourn in America and are some of the jewels that keep our African American culture rich. In this workshop we will explore common herbal and nutritional remedies that continue to live on in Black American communities today. The session includes a tour of Miller Library’s Enchanted Garden led by Erica Coady, to experience the vibrancy of plants highlighted in the workshop discussion.
