Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Johnson in LBJs first Congressional race. After LBJ was elected in 1938, he made a visit to Emmett and Polk's office. LBJ told Emmett that the new Works Progress Administration (WPA) was planning to rehabilitate all the dams on the Colorado River, including the Austin Dam which had been broken for 28 years. If someone would want to get rich. Emmett talked to a local banker and showed him the 200 acre tract.of land on the western shore where the dam would be built. He offered him part of the acreage for the $3000 price. He didn't want the inaccessible land -- But brother Polk had a collection of diamonds, and he would take them in trade for the financing. Emmett re-sold the property to the City within 6 months of LBJ's election. The WPA and the new Lower Colorado River Authority and the WPA built a series of dams on the river. Finally, in 1940, after 30 years without a dam or a lake, the Tom Miller Dam was operating. Austin was protected from floods and the constant level lake was filling and low cost electricity lit Austin streets., Emmett tells of another deal he worked out for the James tract. That tract would be the future site of the bridge in 1948 -- it opened up West Lake Hills to the City of Austin. #Austinhistory #Emmettshelton #westlakehills For maps and other info check out our Facebook page: Our Westlake Stories told by Emmett Shelton / compiled and submitted by Cynthia Shelton.…
