Adrian Miller, a James Beard Award-winning author, will speak at two events celebrating Black food culture at Upper House on the University of Wisconsin campus on Wednesday, February 12. Madison365 is the media partner of the events. Local nonprofit organization Selfless Ambition is also a partner on producing the event.
“Adrian Miller is a really interesting, kind of fascinating guy. He kind of lives in two worlds,” said Daniel Johsnson, director of technology and campus ministry engagement at Upper House. Those two worlds include the academic — Miller is a researcher in the history of food in the United States, especially in the food ways of African American culture — and the religious, as he also serves as executive director of the Colorado Council of Churches.
