MARKET::</b></i></font></font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><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></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Times New Roman, serif">In Ithaca, 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! The Market is open EVERY
Friday until September 4th. Our 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,
