How Food Fuels Political Movements

Season 1 Episode 1 | 10m 44s

Food has always been political—It provides a place to gather, share ideas, to express our identities, and take care of each other’s basic needs. KJ visits restaurants like A Peace of Soul and or Gillie’s to see how they’re preserving Black history and culture with every plate.
