Succotash is a Summertime Harvest favorite
and was a staple in the lives of slaves. Enslaved Africans brought Okra with them and
introduced it to American cuisine. As
African Americans left the South in the two Great Migrations—Reconstruction and
WWII—the dish changed, but its roots remain the same tomatoes, peppers, okra,
corn, and herbs. Guest Chef Myila
Granberry will share her family’s version of the dish as we talk about how
food changes with access, geography, and economics.
The Menu: Succotash, Rice, Hush Puppies, and
