Saturday, February 28th marked the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Black Student Union's annual Soul Food dinner. Over two hundred tickets were sold for the event, and the Union ballroom was filled with positive energy, and much excitement. The organization hosts this event to acknowledge the struggles of their black ancestors, whose style of cooking originated during American slavery. Slaves were given only leftovers, and unwanted cuts of meat from their masters.The dinner dishes included, rice and peas, baked beans, ribs, ham, sweet potato pie, and ice-cream for desert. The event included several dances performed by students, and a play directed by Marisa Sylvester, a senior Political Science and Communications major. We are certainly looking forward to next year's events by Geneseo's Black Student Union.
