The most significant meal for enslaved people during the week was Sunday Supper. Sunday was a treasured respite—however brief— offering enslaved people more freedom to gather together and break bread. Sunday supper was and, for many Black families, still is a time of shared connection and joy. Our Liberation Table meal is inspired by this beloved Black family tradition. Today, we’ll visit the recipes with African roots that are personally meaningful to us.

TODAY’S PRACTICE: Write out a family or personal recipe or ask an elder to share a recipe with you.

DAILY REFLECTION: What are you planning to make for your Liberation Table?

TAKE ACTION: Prepare for your Sugar Fast (page 9) tomorrow. Tomorrow we fast from sugar for 48 hours in honor of our ancestors.
