A Thanksgiving Party Like None Other at the African Community Center

Once again, the African Community Center celebrated Thanksgiving like no one else. At an ACC Thanksgiving the turkey and sweet potatoes share a plate with injera, curry, and more traditional dishes than a plate can hold. Though the name may suggest otherwise, the African Community Center serves refugees from all over the world, and it is at events like this where the phrase melting pot takes real meaning. A burmese song may open for a Butanese dance, followed by a mix of music from the Congo or Ethiopia. This year’s party saw the addition of a Capoeira demonstration that included refugee children who have been learning the art.

The African Community Center is now gearing up for a holiday gift drive for over 100 refugee families. You can join the party by visiting them at 850 Holly St in Denver or online at www.africancommunitycenter.net.
