The culinary historian Michael Twitty has dedicated his career to celebrating the people whose culinary and agricultural contributions to America have been misappropriated throughout history.

Twitty spoke at MAD 3, imploring the audience to take an honest look at our gastronomic past so that we might be able to bridge “pseudo-boundaries of race,” as well as restore “the emotional and ethical tone” of the food that we make.
