Iconoculture: Pie Lab — a pop-up dessert shop in Greensboro, Alabama — serves pie, with a little hope on the side. Hale County, where Greensboro is located, is one of the poorest counties in America and it still struggles with deep-seeded racial divides. The organizers of Pie Lab hope to create a neutral space where folks can visit — and begin to heal.
The small shop was founded by two non-profit groups, Project M (a group of designers, writers and photographers who apply their talents to the greater good) and Hale Empowerment and Revitalization Organization (an organization that helps families in Hale County).
Pie Lab’s tiny menu includes two types of pie (chocolate bourbon pecan and apple were recent offerings), coffee, lemonade and milk.
