» The savoury aroma of jambalaya, jerk chicken and corn bread filled the century-old chambers of Bangkok's US Ambassador's Residence recently. The dining room of African-American expats waiting for the feast listened intently to Joanne Hyppolite, a Haitian-American curator from the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).
