Web series 'Descendant Cookout' offers Black leaders a seat at the Soul Food table

If you want to bring people to the table, put some good food on it! That seems to be the wisdom behind the new web series, “Descendant Cookout,” with host Stephen Satterfield, the writer and food historian whom you may also well know as host of the Netflix series “High on the Hog: How African-American Cuisine Transformed America.”

Now, the “Descendant Cookout” lets us witness conversations with Black thought leaders and activists, among them descendants of the Clotilda Slave ship survivors all gathered around a big table of scrumptious soul food. In this interview, “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes is joined by host Stephen Satterfield and host/producer Chelsea Tafoya to talk more about the web series.
