Rice: A Story of Africa and the Americas Mini-Exhibit

Presented by Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and Harvard Museums of Science and Culture at Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

Rice: A Story of Africa and the Americas examines the legacy of rice cultivation in the Americas. Set within the Resetting the Table exhibition, this new mini-exhibit explores the essential African knowledge systems required to establish what became a thriving industry, the horrific human toll the Atlantic Slave Trade took to maintain it, and the vibrant, enduring culture of the Gullah Geechee, descendants of enslaved Africans whose basket making and coastal subsistence traditions continue today. Admission to the connected Harvard Museum of Natural History is included.
