For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation.

This landmark case is one of the pillars of the modern Civil Rights movement. In order to overturn Plessey 1896 the NAACP needed to prove that separate could never be equal.

The Russian Revolution and World War I launched the U.S. into a Red Scare. Fearing foreign influence the Espionage and Sedition Acts were passed.
