an oral history based project by NC Catch to grow awareness of the vital role people of color play in our state’s seafood industry.
Thanks to a NC Sea Grant Community Collaborative grant, NC Catch has partnered with our African American Chef Ambassadors and Board members, the Core Sound Museum and Heritage Center, and Black-owned Mastermind Photography for the project: “Recognizing African American Participation in the North Carolina Seafood Industry.”
We have collected narratives and photographs for a traveling exhibit and event featuring a panel discussion with African American seafood purveyors and a seafood tasting by our partner chefs. Watch for an upcoming event near you!
