Thursday Nights at the Museum is a weekly series where museum exhibits are open late and you can enjoy pop-up activities, a cash bar, food, and more!

Culinary historian, New York Times–bestselling author of High on the Hog, and winner of two NAACP Image Awards, Dr. Jessica B. Harris has captivated audiences internationally with her Peabody Award–winning Netflix series, High on the Hog. In this engaging keynote presentation, Dr. Harris will share stories of her career, the history of soul food, and some of her favorite heritage dishes, and then she’ll join Emmy-awarded host and producer Jade Harrell for an on-stage conversation. Books will be available for purchase, and a limited number of guests will receive free tickets to get their books signed. Please note that book signing is limited, and free book-signing tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
