This video was produced exclusively for Potlikker. This channel tells African American history through the food that carried it: Sunday dinners and church suppers, Juneteenth tables and the cookout, Big Mama's cast-iron skillet and the recipe cards tucked into a family Bible. We honor the Black cooks and families who shaped American cuisine and built a legacy the textbooks left out.
