On President Trump's first day in office, his controversial administration has chosen to roll back all federal programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

"His appalling executive order will only worsen America's racial hierarchy and benefit the oligarch class." —President and CEO Derrick Johnson

On Thanksgiving, those enslaved and working in the fields caught wild game often accompanied by a serving of cornmeal while those enslaved, and working in the house, dined on leftovers from the “big house” after the enslaving family finished their own feasts. Some of the foods eaten during the holiday were based on the culinary traditions established in antebellum times. Corn shucking and other harvest time celebrations — where turkey, hot wheat bread or rolls (rare during slavery), cakes and ham might be enjoyed — were generally held between October and November, and this was typically followed by hog-killing time and its promises of fresh offal. Thanksgiving would later be embraced by some black families during Reconstruction—with many dishes linked to the food of slavery, and some representing the glory of freedom. African Americans who left the South during the Great Migration used food to recreate a sense of home, and as they prospered, special occasion food became everyday food. ⁣
