Part 3: Rum Through Many Lenses

Spirit, currency, resistance, community, celebration, resilience, and revolution – rum represents many things to many people around the world. In our third installment of the Mai Tai project, we look at the many identities of rum across Caribbean history and geography with support from The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA).  Before you pour your next dram or shake your next cocktail, come learn more about the people, places, and history that have shaped the story and identity of rum.
