OUR ORIGIN
From the shores of Hampton, Virginia, African rhythms and traditions helped shape the sound of a nation. These musical roots gave rise to the genres we all know and love. ​
This story is American history. As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, our collective invites people of all backgrounds to experience powerful, joyful events that honor a shared heritage and creates spaces for healing, unity, and making America whole.
OUR PROGRAMS
ROOTED IN HISTORY. DESIGNED FOR IMPACT.
Our programs aren’t just celebrations, they’re acts of preservation and purpose. Each one lays the emotional and historical groundwork for the 2026 events, transforming them from a single form of commemoration through music into the crescendo of a movement.
SOUL FOOD
ANTHOLOGY
Soul Food Anthology™ is a national cultural
experience that celebrates the rich legacy of African American culinary traditions and the music that grew alongside them. From historic soul food restaurants to vibrant pop-up concerts, this traveling series journeys through the cities shaped by the African diaspora—beginning at Port Comfort, Virginia—where the first Africans were brought to American shores.
Curated for both cultural preservation and creative exploration, the Soul Food Anthology™ is more than an event—it’s a living archive. Join us in honoring the flavors, stories, and rhythms that define Black America.
