- Zora Neale Hurston And Historical MemoryDr. Frederick Douglass Opie discusses Zora Neale Hurston’s early twentieth-century ethnographic research and writing. It emphasizes the essentials of food in Florida including everyday meals as well as special occasions and looks at what shaped people’s eating traditions in early twentieth century Florida. Opie shows that Hurston did for Florida what William Faulkner did for Mississippi—both provided insight into a state’s history and culture through various styles of writing and contributed to a larger southern canon.

- Father Divine’s Harlem Peace Center and FoodDr. Frederick Douglass Opie shares oral histories from Harlem residents about Father Divine. Every Sunday during the Great Depression the controversial New York-based evangelist Father Divine (aka the Reverend General Jealous Divine and aka George Baker) fed starving interracial groups by the hundreds for free in Harlem, while many other black preachers ignored their flocks’ hunger pains. Most African-American urban clergy avoided sermons that addressed racism, poverty, and the social conditions of blacks in America. Instead, their sermons focused on the need for spiritual conversion and life after death. Father Divine talked about conversion, but he also denounced racism and the inability of a country blessed with material abundance to feed its citizens.For more on:Great Depression: https://www.fredopie.com/search?q=depressionWPA: https://www.fredopie.com/search?q=wpaHarlem History: https://www.fredopie.com/search?q=harlemAbout Dr. OpieDr. Frederick Douglass Opie is the producer and host of The Fred Opie Show.

- Food Rebel Part 3Dr. Opie talks about Food Rebels who he calls people who went against the grain and led or participated in movements in the US that championed ending food insecurity and eating nutrient-rich food. These entrepreneurs, organizers, educators, and nationalists, among other positions were leaders in the long struggle for independence, health, and the struggle against the US caste system. These food rebels have not had their contributions celebrated proportionate to their impact on society; this episode about Dr. Alvenia M. Fulton, a pioneer in the holistic health movement which championed whole grains, unprocessed foods, juicing, and vegetarianism aims to change that.For More on Dr. Fulton: https://www.fredopie.com/search?q=alveniaAbout Dr. OpieDr. Frederick Douglass Opie is a former world class athlete turned innovative educator, speaker, and author.
