Tim Grobaty: African-American, Jewish heritage feted
CULTURE EXCHANGE: In today's fast-paced column we have a lot of ways (two, actually, but still …) to revel in your own rich cultural heritage (and here we're making a reckless assumption that you're African-American or Jewish) or to expand your cultural horizons by a few leagues (switching now to the equally undocumented assumption that you're non-African-American and non-Jewish) this weekend as a brace of big heritage fests are coming to Long Beach's shoreline. We will start alphabetically with the African-American Festival happening all day Saturday and Sunday at the Aquarium of the Pacific. This is the 10th annual version of the ever-growing festival and now there's so much going on that we can't even begin to go into the sort of great detail you deserve

Voices of hope: Children's opera 'Brundibar' was a light in the darkness of the Holocaust, and now CityMusic Cleveland …
A children's opera about an evil organ grinder who resembles Hitler has inspired communities around the world to remember and learn from the horrors of the Holocaust. This week, CityMusic Cleveland embarks on an artistic project that will explore the Holocaust, genocide and oppression with a series of events leading up to performances of “Brundibar,” the children's opera that was performed 55 times at Theresienstadt, the Nazi internment camp in northern Czechoslovakia. The CityMusic project is generating a swell of activity involving hundreds of people — from here and around the country — even before a note of “Brundibar” sounds in May at Cleveland's John Hay High School

Southern Discomfort: a tour through early African-American foodways
Culinary historian Michael Twitty's love affair with his ancestors' cuisine sprouted early. By age 5, the Washington, D.C., native was his family's Official Taster; as a tween, he'd become so skilled at shucking, cutting, mixing and seasoning that he was cooking dinner — from scratch — a couple nights a week. Not that his parents or siblings were particularly impressed by his get-up-and-go
