The original town was platted at the end of August 1871, being bordered by 12 th Street to the north, 5 th Street to the south, Ash to the west and Pine to the east. The first Santa Fe Depot was constructed in 1871, and the first train stopped here July 17, 1871. As they stopped at the banks of Sand Creek for lunch, they determined it was to be the spot. Lakin, went out to find a spot to terminate the Chisholm Trail. On an August morning in 1870, several men, including Judge RWP Muse and railroad representative D.L. Holiday, broke ground on a new railroad to run along the Santa Fe Trail - the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Jesse Chisholm’s name would be forever etched in history for scouting perhaps the most famous of the cattle trails, which would carry 5 million longhorns from Texas to Kansas. William Becknell would establish the Santa Fe Trail in 1821, which at 780 miles was one of the longest commercial routes in the United States. Some of the earliest Western accounts of the people include notes from the Spanish explorer Coronado documenting grass house villages that he would refer to as “the Quivira.” The trails through this land would be documented as a large pre-colonial settlement of Indigenous people that had been forced out of Kansas by the time the cattle drives would begin.

The story was edited together to appear as if everyone was around the same dinner table, but in reality it was a series of individual photo shoots (with the exception of members of the same household, who were photographed together). All portraits and food were photographed outside and from a safe distance. The people that were shot together are ones that are couples/families and live together. The crew was masked the entire time, and the guests were photographed in individual photo sessions and only took their mask down when photographed. Note: We filmed this story over the summer, with COVID safety measures implemented and a COVID health & safety advisor on set taking temperatures, ensuring distancing, and mask wearing. It was a joyous occasion, and it’s exactly how I want to move into a new year. It was a moment for us to reflect on the struggles of the year-there were so many-but also its bright spots. I served food from my new book, which showcases the diversity of Black excellence in cooking, something we should always celebrate. I wanted us, as a community, to acknowledge making it to 2021. What does celebration look like this year? In a sign of the times, I invited a few neighborhood friends to Harlem for a socially distanced holiday party and asked others to join us on Zoom.
