The Games of Our Heritage Connecting the Black Diaspora Through Culture and Community
Celebrate Black History Month by immersing yourself in the rich traditions of Pan-African culture. This vibrant event features Mancala and Spades—two beloved games deeply rooted in the Black diaspora. Mancala, an ancient African strategy game, and Spades, a card game treasured across generations, both serve as powerful symbols of connection, strategy, and community. Paired with delicious Senegalese cuisine, the evening promises to bring people together through shared traditions of play and food.
