Food has always played a crucial role in progressive movements for change. Food has fueled activists for generations, whether it's prepared by home cooks, professional chefs, local eateries, or bakeries. In Atlanta, Paschal's restaurant offered security and nourishment to civil rights leaders. During the 1960s, Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam established their farms, dairies, and bakeries. And at the March on Washington, "The Sandwich Brigade" organized efforts to feed the thousands in attendance. Through delicious recipes and personal anecdotes, author Fred Opie highlights the importance of Southern food in the fight for freedom.
