Our signature education program is the Magnolia Shoebox Meal Program which recreates how the African American traveler would eat if they didn't have safe place to stop during the Jim Crow Era. We can host small and large groups from schools to community groups, families, to corporations/businesses. We provide a meal during our interactive education sessions on Black culinary culture and history of African American travel during times of segregation.

Our Juke Joint series is our arts programming in which we honor the history of African American music and the history of how music and arts were created.
