Dr. Alvenia Fulton, Fasting for Better Health Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie 2020-09-18 | Credit: Fasting for Better Health with Dr. Alvenia Fulton, February 12, 1984, City Line episode #077,WJZ-TV (Television Station: Baltimore, Md Courtesy of Mid-Atlantic Media Collection Show Notes:In process of researching and writing a biography of Dr. Alvenia Fulton (1893-1999), Historian Frederick Douglass Opie found this rare recording of one of her many television appearances. Beginning in the late 1950s, her Fultonia’s Health Food and Fasting Center, was a local hub for health foods and natural remedies, always buzzing with customers. And while Chicagoans frequented the store for freshly prepared meals and alternative medicine, notable figures from all over the country—politicians, musicians, activists, actors, and athletes alike—came to the shop to hear her sagely wisdom. A world-renowned nutritionist and naturopath, Fulton was humble in appearance and demeanor. Customers and celebrities aimed to gain the lean frame and clear, supple skin that Fulton obtained through her wholefood plant-based lifestyle. And while she gave individualized care to every person who walked through her doors, her impact was broad enough to help initiate the health and wellness movement that proliferates our world today. Check out the link below to the work I have been doing on her life and ministry.

Food Facts, Episode 3, Rice Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie 2022-03-18 | Let’s talk about rice. West Africans cultivated two types of rice (one coarse and red, the other very small and white). The Portuguese introduced Asian rice from the Far East, which most likely complemented rather than substituted for the two types of rice indigenous to Africa. Groups between Cape Verde and the Gold Coast cultivated so much rice that they became known as the people of the Rice Coast. The African slave trade introduced rice cultivation to the British controlled Carolinas and Georgia. From their rice exports sent the cash crop around the world before the American Revolution.Food Facts Host and Producer: Dr. Frederick Douglass OpieAssistant Producer: Kiara ThomasRice Stories and Recipes: www.fredopie.com/search?q=RiceAbout Dr. Opie: www.fredopie.com/coursesDr. Opie's Books: www.fredopie.com/booksInstagram: www.instagram.com/fdopieTwitter: twitter.com/DrFredDOpieWant to book Dr. Opie for an upcoming event or media appearance?

Breaking The Obesity Cycle in My Family Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie 2017-12-06 | Listen to the full episode here:soundcloud.com/thedinnertablewithfredopie/the-dinner-table-yemaja-jubileeYemaja Jubilee’s family always had plenty of food because her father operated a country store in Charlotte County, Virginia. Traditionally, on Sundays, Jubilee’s mother, born in 1926, cooked “fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, yellow chocolate layer cake, potato salad, and sometimes she did not have chocolate cake, she would have sweet potato pies, and home-made apple pies.” In this 2002 interview conducted as research for the book Hog and Hominy: Soul Food from Africa to America (2008), she talks with host Fred Opie about obesity within her community, the role churches could play in improving the diet of their parishioners, and in the need to move beyond using food to self-medicate and instead seek holistic solutions to the challenges in our lives.

The Role Food Plays in Social Movements Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie 2017-12-06 | Listen to the full episode here:soundcloud.com/thedinnertablewithfredopie/author-talk-southern-food-and-civil-rightsHere is a podcast of the first author talk for Southern Food and Civil Rights given at the Barnes & Noble's in Yonkers New York. A special shout out to Kelly Cummins Schultz for organizing the event. What prompted you to write this book?The idea for the book came from an NPR segment from the Kitchen Sisters, Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson, and their series which they call Hidden Kitchens. I listened to a story about Georgia Gilmore's hidden Kitchen contribution to the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. From there I started doing research on the role of food in social movements and wrote about it on my blog in a series I call Feeding the Revolution. Did you learn anything new while researching and writing this?I learned is that you can’t have a successful social movement without beverages and food to sustain the participants. But isn’t that true in at a high school or college alumni event or a youth lacrosse game?When did you first become interested in this topic?After hearing the 2005 NPR story about Gilmore.What do you want readers to take away from this book?Anyone can make a contribution to bringing about progressive change in their community in their own way. So often we focus on a movements spokesperson and or leader and ignore the worker bees behind the scene whose gifts and talents help keep the pressure on and bring about change.We are looking for event organizing for similar 20 minute talks and 30 minute Q&A in spaces with 10 or more people, and refreshments. You can host an event in your home, at work as a lunchtime event, and in barbershops, beauty parlors, bookstores, coffee shops, schools, libraries, grocery stores, community center, and clubs.Contact us on Facebook facebook.com/FredOpie7 and Follow us on Twitter twitter.com/DrFredDOpieListen to Our Podcasts and More: http://www.fredopie.comWatch the Video of the Talk: facebook.com/BNYonkersNY/videos/1431673270237546
Fred Opie Author Interview Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie 2017-12-06 | Listen to the full episode here:soundcloud.com/thedinnertablewithfredopie/fred-opie-author-interviewFeatures reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Helaine Williams interviews author Fred Opie about the genesis of his new book Southern Food and Civil Rights. Napoleon said that an army marches on its stomach. His comment causes one to ask the question: What is the relationship between food and political stability—or instability—during important periods in history? That is to say, what role does food play in starting and sustaining a movement? And what important takeaways do we gain from looking at the role of food in social movements? Southern Food and Civil Rights delves into movements for progressive change focusing on the 20th century. The book shows that there have always existed movements for social justice around the world among marginalized groups of people. And food has been at the center of civil rights movements in one way or the other. The book looks at the organizations and individuals, home cooks and professional chefs, who—with the food they donated, cooked, grew and distributed—helped various activists continue to march and advance their goals for progressive change and self-determination. How did progressive organizations raise the funds necessary to pay for their programs, staff, and campaigns? How have striking workers fed their families? What individuals and groups made important food-related contributions to movements? Where did organizers meet and strategize?

Food, Jazz, and Protest in Jim Crow Washington, D.C Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie 2017-12-05 | Listen to the full episode here:soundcloud.com/thedinnertablewithfredopie/food-jazz-protest-in-jim-crow-dc“Food, Jazz, and Protest in Jim Crow Washington, D.C,” a podcast from author Fred Opie’s book Southern Food and Civil Rights: Feeding the Revolution. In an abstract of the related chapter to the podcast, Opie writes, in the 1940s through the early 1960s, Washington, D.C. had predominantly Jim Crow restaurants and cafeterias that catered to a “whites only” customer base. Historically, U.S. officials created the nation's capital out of the southern territories of Virginia and Maryland, and a small but powerful block of Dixiecrats ensured that Jim Crow keep eateries in the city segregated. Those who lived and worked in D.C. also had to endure the “battle of the plate,” referring to the long lines outside of restaurants with high customer demand but inferior food and service. At the same time, in Northwest D.C. one could find good food at black-owned restaurants in the old U Street Northwest corridor now called the Shaw neighborhood. During the first half of the 20th century, it became a jazz haven for Washingtonians with various clubs that propelled local music careers and hosted legendary jazz artists.Opie is a Professor of History and Foodways at Babson College Like us on Facebook facebook.com/FredOpie7 and Follow us on Twitter twitter.com/DrFredDOpieCheck out the Related Food Blog: http://www.fredopie.comSouthern Food and Civil Rights: arcadiapublishing.com/Products/9781467137386

Driskell would later develop a ink from the plant, which he uses in his artwork. He has spent his life living in the South and spending his summers in Maine since the 1960s. In his comment listener Lewis Ward shares the following, "few botanical errors about American Pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana L) that should be corrected. 1) It is indigenous to all of eastern North America. and 2) it is a perennial in all of the range.It flowers year round in the south. Plants do magically acclimate as he says. fs.fed.us/wildflowers/plant-of-the-week/phytolacca_americana.shtml" (I hope he's correct lol) Related links:Dr. David Driskell: http://www.visionaryproject.com/driskelldavidGardening Series with Related Recipes: http://www.fredopie.com/search?q=GardeningFred on Twitter: twitter.com/DrFredDOpieFred on Facebook: facebook.com/frederick.d.opieFred Opie: http://www.fredopie.com
