CONGO SQUARE MARKET</b></font></font></font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal"><font><font face="Times New Roman, serif">Congo Square is an actual place in New Orleans.
This sacred ground was first used by the Houma People
and by slaves in the region as a place to enjoy a day of
freedom. Africans used it as a place to maintain their
true status as free people of Africa. Indigenous peoples
and Europeans often joined in the celebration. Music,
abolitionist organization, food, and dance were
intertwined to enjoy this one-day-a-week festival.</font></font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><b>In Ithaca,
</b></font></font></font><font><font face="Times New Roman, serif">Congo Square
Market (or CSM) is a multicultural community that
provides affordable Jamaican, Cuban, Ethiopian, soul
food, farm produce, local goods, as well as free
healthcare services and entertainment: music, visual art
and speakers, and more! Congo Square Market is open
every Friday 4-8pm through September 4th. The Market's
mission is to build a stronger self-reliant local
community, develop Southside’s economic base, and
encourage community & personal health. Collaborators
include Southside Community Center, Rainbow Healing
Center, Youth Farm Project, TC Cornell Cooperative
Extension's Whole Community Project, Rocky Acres
Community Farm, Cayuga Medical Center, Ithaca Health
Alliance/ Free Clinic and individual volunteers who all
help put the market together. </font></font> </p>
