Thanksgiving is one week away, and many of us are preparing to celebrate.  But does the holiday mean the same to the Black community as it does to other Americans?  On today’s Culture Rich Conversations, Host Christina Michelle and her guests Dr. John Quary and Jamie Davis discuss Thanksgiving in the Black community, from what the holiday meant to ancestors to favorite recipes today.
