Introduction by Melissa Booth Hall, Managing Director of the Southern Foodways Alliance
Keepers of Black American Food Culture is a selection of short films from the Southern Foodways Alliance (SFA). Based out of the University of Mississippi’s Center for the Study of Southern Culture, SFA serves as progressive and inclusive catalysts for the greater South, documenting and studying important vessels of diverse food cultures in the form of films and podcasts to student projects.
Celebrate Black History Month with us with a series of stories that feature the great feasts and flavors of seven Black American culinary personalities. The seven films shine as examples of the hard work put forth in both preserving and inspiring Black American food culture. After the films, Adrian Miller, subject of Table of Ideas, will discuss the collection with Filmmaker Joe York, who directed many of the films.
