> CONGO SQUARE MARKET is an actual place in new Orleans.  This sacred ground was first used by Houma Native Americans and later by slaves in the region, as a place to enjoy one day of freedom.  African people used this as a place to maintain a connection to their true status as free people of Africa.  Native Americans, as well as Europeans often joined in the celebration.  Music, abolitionist organization, food, and dance were all intertwined to make this one day a week festival.
> 
> Today, we recreate our own version of this splendor at Southside Community Center.  We welcome our WHOLE COMMUNITY to come enjoy food, music and culture. The Market is a collaboration between Southside Community Center, Ithaca Youth Bureau’s Paul Scheurs Memorial Program, TC Cornell Cooperative Extension's Whole Community Project, and the Youth Farm Project. Jhakeem Haltom, a staff member of the Paul Scheurs Program, is the market founder and manager.
