Milwaukee s cultural and ethnic diversity will take center stage on Nov. 7 as the Milwaukee Public Library hosts its third annual Unity in the Community celebration. The event, held from noon to 4 p.m. at the Mitchell Street Library, will feature a global lineup of music and dance performances, arts and crafts activities, and culinary selections. Booths from a variety of Milwaukee community groups will also be stationed around the event. Among those preparing to welcome guests is chef Sharrie Agee, who leads the branch s Cargill Community Kitchen, the library system s only full-sized kitchen and culinary makerspace dedicated to food programming. As the kitchen s leader and head consultant, Agee plans and executes weekly culinary and nutrition lessons and cooking demonstrations, but for Unity in the Community she is preparing dishes and desserts from around the world for an expected crowd of 400.
