    The Great Debate: Redlining

    Redlining is one of the myriad ways blacks experienced discrimination in the housing market. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Great Migration in Chicago, where hundreds of thousands of Black Americans left the South for better opportunities. When they arrived, they were confined to the Black Belt on the South Side. Even as overcrowded conditions cramped black families, a host of real estate policies prevented them from moving to white areas.

    Lesson 5: The History of the Black Chef in America (part 1)

    In school, many of us were not taught about our own history, let alone taught that Black Chefs are the true backbone to American cuisine. From the myth of the "happy servant" of Aunt Jemima to broader marketing of black servitude, many of our ancestors transitioned their skills out of enslavement and into careers in the food industry. Our host, DrStew, is joined by Chef Rellz and Chef Flu to speak on the beginnings of their own culinary journey and how they take pride in the achievements of countless brilliant cooks who nourished a nation.
