The Story of Azibo Collard Greens Ice Cream
Come and try some at the 7th annual Collard Greens Cultural Festival next Saturday, June 30th in Bell Street Park

Collard Greens

By Keisha Azibo Evans

Homemade ice cream has been a family joy for generations for those of us from South Carolina and other parts of the South. I've continued this tradition by making my own ice cream here in East Palo Alto. This ultimately led to the creation of Collard Greens Ice Cream.

For years I made ice cream from the fruit in my yard for many people including the children of Nobantu Ankoanda when they were growing up. When Mama Nobantu founded the Collard Greens Cultural Festival in 1998 we discussed making collard greens ice cream for the Festival.

Una rebanada de
Michoacán, México

East Palo Alto has a significant community of residents who immigrated from Michoacan, Mexico together with their food and culture. One of the best ways to experience a slice of this culture is to eat at El Galope, a restaurant serving Michoacan-style Mexican food for over fifteen years in East Palo Alto. Owned and operated by Guillermina González, El Galope is a taqueria/restaurant and a whole lot more.

Por Maria Del Carmen Valdes

Educar es una palabra que encierra en si misma un compromiso adquirido por la sociedad, por lo que no podemos verla con indiferencia, nuestro compromiso como padres de familia es el principal y el mas importante punto de partida, así como la escuela y en si misma nuestra comunidad.

Los padres de familia deben sembrar la semilla dentro de sus hijos de conservación de valores morales, el respeto, el amor, la responsabilidad, el valor, la esperanza, la fe, el perdón, etc.

By the Juneteenth Committee

El Significado de Juneteenth

The Juneteenth Festival was really a good one this year and we need more support for this kind of event because it brings the community together. It allows people both to reflect on the issues effecting the community and to show a positive image. It's an important event that should be continued every year.

The Committee worked hard this year. In some ways Juneteenth helped pull the community together in a period where we had been having a flare up of violence. People came out to enjoy the music, listen to what the speakers had to say and greet old friends.
