What inspired me today!!

"History is not a procession of illustrious people. It's about what happens to a people. Millions of anonymous people is what history is about."

James Baldwin

I love this quote because it speaks so powerfully to the idea of my project; that as a black chef I have a responsibility to identifying these anonymous names and tell the overlooked story of our contribution to food history. This quote just made me reaffirm what im doing. I'm also finding the generosity of so many chefs in my community overwhelming. That we're all connected and all on the same page with reference to the need for this sort of project is also cool to know. Anyhow I love James Baldwin, but am particularly in love with this quote.
