This Saturday night, I’m throwing a party that I hope will be equal parts wonderful and unusual. It’s a dance, a dinner, and a discussion about race, privilege, and the food system. It’s also a fundraiser for Beet Street Gardens and a project through Healthy Affordable Food for All to bring The Black/Land Project to DC. The location is 1412 Parkwood Pl NW. Discussion and potluck is from 7-9pm and dancing will go from 9-midnight. More details and RSVP on Facebook.

Ever since I started dreaming it up, this party has scared me and excited me. Last week, those of us planning it learned that a few people thought the combination of our topic and our chosen activity – contra dancing – was ironic. We heard that it looked like “a bunch of white people getting together to talk about black land.”
