There is nothing like a Black Thanksgiving table. From buttery rolls and collard greens to some ‘slap yo’ momma’ mac and cheese, there’s no doubt that the dinner menu will be full of straight from the ancestors goodness.

Watch the video to see which dishes made it onto our Thanksgiving tables, and which ESSENCE staffers might be losing their Wakanda cards.
