Summary:	This text gives a nuanced history of black foodways across the twentieth century, challenging traditional narratives of 'soul food' as a singular style of historical African American cuisine. It details the experiences and diverse convictions of several generations of African American activists, ranging from Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois to Mary Church Terrell, Elijah Muhammad, and Dick Gregory.
