According to Joyce Jackson, president of Cultural Crossroads, “We are now seeing a renewed emphasis on the synthesis of the arts, including culinary and performance arts in Southern Louisiana cultural expressions. The panelists will begin by discussing new developments in art and music and end with attempting to identify the metaphysical and physiological foundation for these phenomena.”  Cultural Crossroads, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to programming the artistic expressions of African-American people and to exposing those connections to Africa and the diaspora.
