This is the read-aloud version of the second written Dispatch from A More Perfect Plate: Juneteenth & Soul Food. It's here as an audio version for those of you who'd rather listen than read.

Read by Nick, this piece begins to tell the story of Juneteenth and the food that became part of the celebration, and how what we know as soul food today became a staple of American cuisine. From Galveston in 1865 to the first documented celebration in Houston, to the real histories behind the red drink, watermelon, and fried chicken, this is a warm, honest look at where some of America's most beloved cooking comes from.

Prefer the casual version with a more fun approach to learning about this history?
