John Bloom, Associate Professor, Dept of History and Philosophy, Shippensburg University (PA) About Michael Our new Director of Social Equity was hoping that speakers brought to campus by the Black Heritage Committee would become more than just a one night event, but might inspire action that would have a lasting impact. His overall theme really resonated with the students – reflecting upon the nature of food, our alientation from what we eat in a fast-food society, and the importance of recognizing and taking pride in foodways and traditions. We were still talking about it in class almost a week later. His morning session turned out to be quite well attended also, and he had a great discussion with students.

Students reported that they really enjoyed working with him in the kitchen and that is was a truly unique experience. ![]() “Michael’s visit to Shippensburg was outstanding!
