The UNSUNG story of Emma Taylor:

"My maw and paw lived in Mississippi, and belonged to Marse Greer. Dat dere name, too. All the slaves tooken dere master's name, 'cause dey hadn't no use for a name, nohow.

"De first thing I 'members is followin' my maw in the cotton patch. She allus went ahead, pickin' cotton, and made a clean place with her sack draggin' on the ground. But de first work I ever done was feed de chickens and geese and shell corn to feed dem.

"Us chillen couldn't play with de white chillen. De worstest whippin' I ever got was fer playin' with a doll what belonged to one marse's chillen. I 'members it yet and I ain't never seed a doll purty as dat doll was to me. It was make out a corncob with arms and legs what moved and a real head, with eyes and hair and mouth painted on. It had a dress out of silk cloth, jist like one my missus weared when she went to meetin'. Dat li'l gal done leave de doll under de tree, but missus found me playin' with it and whipped me hard.

"We lived in a cabin in de back field 'hind de big house, one room and a shed room, where maw done all de cookin' for de whole family. I had three brothers and three sisters, all dead, I supposes. Dey all older'n what I was. We cooked on a fireplace, and a big pot hanged on poles over de fire and de bread cook on dat fire in a skillet what was made of two pieces of iron, turn up all round. We puts de dough in one and turns de other one over it, den buries it in de coals a few minutes till it brown on de top and bottom. It was good, jist as good as nowadays, baked in a oven. Our beds was made out of straw and old rags, but we kept warm sleepin' a whole lot in one bed in winter, but we slept outside in summer.

"I was sold one time. Marse, he gittin' old and 'cide he didn't need so many slaves, so he have de sale and a man come and put us all up on a big platform. We pulls off nearly all our clothes, so as to show how big we was, and he 'gins hollerin' 'bout who gwineter buy, who gwineter buy. I was scart and thunk I has to leave maw, so I 'gins hollerin' jist as loud as he does. He turn 'round and say, 'Shut up, you li'l c**n, you. I can't hear nothin'.' I hides my face in maw's apron and didn't know no more till we's all loaded in a wagon and starts to de new home. We gits dere and is give new clothes and shoes, de first ones I ever had on and it taken me a long time to larn to wear dem things on my feet.

"Us has to git up at four in de mornin', and work, work till us can't see no more. Den dey work at night. De men chops wood and hauls poles to build fences and make wood, and de women folks has to spin four cuts of thread every night and make all de clothes. Some has to card cotton to make quilts and some weave and knits stockin's. Marse give each one a chore to do at night and iffen it warn't did when we went to bed, we's whipped. One time I falls plumb asleep befo' I finishes shellin' some corn, but I didn't git a bad whippin' dat time.

"Sometimes de ni***rs danced and played de fiddle and us chillen played in de yard. We could stay up all night dem times, but had to work next day, and hardly ever stayed up all night. Dat durin' harvest or at Christmas time.

"All de victuals was issued out by de overseer and he give 'nough for one week, den iffen us eat it all up too soon, it am jist go without. Lots of times, I went down to de 'tato patch a long time after everybody am in bed, and stole 'tatoes, so we wouldn't be hungry next day. I allus covered de hole up good and never did git cotched. De dogs got after me one time, but I put pepper in dey eyes and dey stopped. I allus carried pepper with me.

"I's borned on de old Sneed place, eight miles south of Austin, and my mammy was Sarah Sneed and pappy was Ike. Dey come from Tennessee and dere five boys and two gals. De boys am Dixie and Joe and Jim and Bob and me, and de gals name Katy and Lou. Us live in quarters what was log huts. Dere's one long, log house where dey spinned and weaved de cloth. Dere sixteen spinnin' wheels and eight looms in dat house and my job was turnin' one dem wheels when they'd thresh me out and git me to do it. Mos' all de clothes what de slaves and de white folks have was made in dat house.

"Mos' and usual de chillen sleept on de floor, unless with de old folks. De bedsteads make of pieces of split logs fasten with wooden pegs and rope criss-cross. De mattress make of shucks tear into strips with maybe a li'l cotton or prairie hay. You could go out on de prairie mos' any time and get 'nough grass to make de bed, and dry it 'fore it put in de tick. De white folks have bought beds haul by ox teams from Austin and feather beds.

"Dr. Sneed raise cotton and corn and wheat. Sometime five or six oxen hitch to de wagon and 25 or 30 wagons make what am call de wagon train. Dey haul cotton and corn and wheat to Port Lavaca what am de nearest shipping point. On de return trip, dey brung sugar and coffee and cloth and other things what am needed on de plantation. First time massa 'low me go with dat ox-train, I thunk I's growed.

He make dem pick rocks up and make fences out dem, but he didn't 'low no chillen work in de field till dey 'bout fourteen. De real old folks didn't work in de fields neither. Dey sot 'round and knit socks and mend de shoes and harness and stuff.

"Massa John mighty good to us chillen. He allus give us a li'l piece money every Sunday. When he'd git in he buggy to go to Austin to sell butter, de chillen pile in dat buggy and all over him so you couldn't see him and he'd hardly see to drive.

Us thresh wheat and take it to de li'l watermill at Barton Creek to grind. Dey'd only grind two bushel to de family, no matter how big dat family, 'cause dere so many folks and it such a small mill.

"Each family have de li'l garden and raise turnips and cabbage and sweet 'taters and put dem in de kiln make from corn stalks and cure dem for winter eatin'. Us have homemake clothes and brogan shoes, come from Austin or some place. Us chillen wear shirt-tail till us 'bout thirteen.

"Dere 'bout four or five hunerd acres and 'bout sixty slaves. Dey git up 'bout daylight and come from de field in time to feed and do de chores 'fore dark. After work de old folks sot 'round, fiddle and play de 'cordian and tell stories. Dat mostly after de crops laid by or on rainy days. On workin' time, dey usually tired and go to bed early. Dey not work on Saturday afternoon or Sunday, 'cept dey gatherin' de crop 'gin a rain. Old man Jim Piper am fiddler and play for black and white dances. On Sunday massa make us go to church.

"Iffen it a man, he choose de gal and she have to kiss him to git him out de well. Iffen a gal in de well, she choose a man.

"I well 'member de day freedom 'clared. Us have de tearin'-down dinner dat day. De ni***rs beller and cry and didn't want leave massa. He talk to us and say long as he live us be cared for, and us was. Dere lots of springs on he place and de married ni***rs pick out a spring and Massa Doctor give dem stuff to put up de cabin by dat spring, and dey take what dey have in de quarters. Dey want to move from dem slave quarters, but not too far from massa. Dey come to de big house for flour and meal and meat and sich till massa die. He willed every last one he slaves somethin'. Mos' of 'em git a cow and a horse and a pig and some chickens. My mammy git two cows and a pair horses and a wagon and 70 acres land.

After 'while, dat cat's mate and cub come runnin', 'cause he yell for dem, and I kilt dem, too.

The UNSUNG story of Millie Ann Smith:

Millie Ann Smith was born in 1850, in Rusk Co., Texas, a slave of George Washington Trammell, a pioneer planter of the county. Trammell bought Millie's mother and three older children in Mississippi before Millie's birth, and brought them to Texas, leaving Millie's father behind. Later he ran away to Texas and persuaded Trammell to buy him, so he could be with his family.

"I's born 'fore war started and 'members when it ceased. I guess mammy's folks allus belonged to the Trammells, 'cause I 'member my grandpa, Josh Chiles, and my grandma, call Jeanette. I's a strappin' big girl when they dies.

Grandpa used to say he come to Texas with Massa George Trammell's father when Rusk County was jus' a big woods, and the first two years he was hunter for the massa. He stay in the woods all the time, killing deer and wild hawgs and turkeys and c**ns and the like for the white folks to eat, and the land's full of Indians. He kinda taken up with them and had holes in the nose and ears.

They was put there by the Indians for rings what they wore. Grandpa could talk mos' any Indian talk and he say he used to run off from his massa and stay with the Indians for weeks. The massa'd go to the Indian camp looking for grandpa and the Indians hided him out and say, 'No see him.'

"How mammy and we'uns come to Texas, Massa George brung his wife and three chillen from Mississippi and he brung we'uns. Pappy belonged to Massa Moore over in Mississippi and Massa George didn't buy him, but after mammy got here, that 'fore I's born, pappy runs off and makes his way to Texas and gits Massa George to buy him.

"Massa George and Missy America lived in a fine, big house and they owned more slaves and land than anybody in the county and they's the richest folks 'round there. Us slaves lived down the hill from the big house in a double row of log cabins and us had good beds, like our white folks. My grandpa made all the beds for the white folks and us, too. Massa didn't want anything shoddy 'round him, he say, not even his slave quarters.

"I's sot all day handin' thread to my mammy to put in the loom, 'cause they give us homespun clothes, and you'd better keep 'em if you didn't want to go naked.

"Massa had a overseer and slave driver call Jacob Green. If a slave was hard to make do the right thing, they ties him to a tree, but Massa George never whip 'em too hard, jus' 'nough to make 'em 'have.

"The slaves what worked in the fields was woke up 'fore light with a horn and worked till dark, and then there was the stock to tend to and cloth to weave. The overseer come 'round at nine o'clock to see if all is in the bed and then go back to his own house. When us knowed he's sound asleep we'd slip out and run 'round, sometimes. They locked the young men up in a house at night and on Sunday to keep 'em from runnin' 'round. It was a log house and had cracks in it and once a little ni**er boy pokes his hand in tryin' to tease them men and one of 'em chops his fingers off with the ax.

"Massa didn' 'low no slave to read and write, if he knowed it. George Wood was the only one could read and write and how he larn, a little boy on the 'jining place took up with him and they goes off in the woods and he shows George how to read and write. Massa never did find out 'bout that till after freedom.

"We slips off and have prayer but daren't 'low the white folks know it and sometime we hums 'ligious songs low like when we's workin'. It was our way of prayin' to be free, but the white folks didn't know it. I 'member mammy used to sing like this:

"'Am I born to die, to lay this body down.
Must my tremblin' spirit fly into worlds unknown, The land of deepes' shade,
Only pierce' by human thought.'
"Massa George 'lowed them what wanted to work a little ground for theyselves and grandpa made money sellin' wild turkey and hawgs to the poor white folks. He used to go huntin' at night or jus' when he could.

Them days we made our own med'cine out of horsemint and butterfly w**d and Jerusalem oak and bottled them teas up for the winter. Butterfly W**d tea was for the pleurisy and the others for the chills and fever. As reg'lar as I got up I allus drank my asafoetida and tar water.

"I 'member Massa George furnishes three of his slaves, Ed Chile and Jacob Green and Job Jester, for mule skinners. I seed the government come and take off a big bunch of mules off our place. Mos' onto four year after the war, three men comes to Massa George and makes him call us up and turn us loose. I heered 'em say its close onto four year we's been free, but that's the first we knowed 'bout it.

"Pappy goes to work at odd jobs and mammy and I goes to keep house for a widow woman and I stays there till I marries, and that to Tom Smith. We had five chillen and now Tom's dead and I lives on that pension from the government, what is $16.00 a month, and I's glad to git it, 'cause I's too old to work."

INGREDIENTS

RED BEANS & RICE FILLING:
• 1 cup cooked red beans, well drained
• 3/4 cup cooked white rice
• 2 tbsp finely diced onion
• 2 tbsp finely diced green bell pepper
• 1 tbsp finely diced celery
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• Black pepper, to taste

FISH:
• 1 1/2 lbs firm white fish fillets, such as catfish, cod or haddock
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

BREADING & SEAL:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• Neutral oil, for frying

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook until softened.

2. Add the red beans, rice, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper.

3. Mash some of the beans into the rice while leaving plenty of whole beans. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is VERY THICK and holds together when pressed with a spoon. There should be no loose liquid.

4. Transfer the filling to a plate and refrigerate until completely cold.

5. Pat the fish VERY dry. Cut it into pieces about 2–2 1/2 inches wide. Carefully slice thicker pieces horizontally so you have thin pieces of fish for the top and bottom of each bite.

6. Season lightly with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.

7. Lay down one thin piece of fish. Place only about 2 TEASPOONS of the cold red beans & rice mixture in the center. Keep a clean border around the filling.

8. Lightly dust that exposed border of fish with flour.

9. Beat the eggs with the milk. Brush a VERY THIN amount of the egg mixture around the floured border.

10. Place a second thin piece of fish over the filling. Press the edges together firmly, gently shaping the fish around the filling to make one compact bite.

DO NOT OVERFILL IT.

11. Place the assembled bites in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

12. Mix the remaining flour, cornmeal and Cajun seasoning in a shallow dish.

13. Dip each chilled stuffed bite into the flour-cornmeal mixture, then the egg mixture, then back into the flour-cornmeal mixture. Press the final coating firmly around the entire bite, especially around the seam.

14. Place the FULLY BREADED bites on a tray and refrigerate another 20–30 minutes before frying.

15. Heat about 2 inches of neutral oil to 350°F.

16. Fry in SMALL batches so the oil temperature doesn't drop too much. Turn carefully as needed until the breading is deep golden brown and crisp.

17. Check the thickest part of the stuffed bite with an instant-read thermometer. The fish must reach 145°F.

18. Transfer to a wire rack and let them rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.

Now enjoy your crispy fried fish with thick red beans & rice packed right in the middle. 🔥🤙🏿

Loaded with cabbage, bean sprouts, and green onion, with savory Egg Foo Young-style gravy for dipping.

Ingredients

For 12 bites

8 large eggs

8 oz raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, patted dry, and finely chopped

12 additional medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and patted dry

1 cup finely shredded cabbage

½ cup bean sprouts, roughly chopped

½ cup sliced green onions

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp black pepper

1 tbsp neutral oil, plus more for greasing the muffin pan

For the gravy

1½ cups chicken broth

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp brown sugar

2 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp cold water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and bean sprouts and sauté for 2–3 minutes, just until slightly softened and some of their moisture cooks off. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

3. Whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper.

4. Fold in the finely chopped raw shrimp, cooled cabbage and bean sprouts, and green onions.

5. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, keeping it just below the rim.

6. Place one raw whole shrimp on top of each bite, pressing it lightly into the egg mixture so it stays nestled in place while baking.

7. Bake for about 15–20 minutes, checking at 15 minutes. They're done when the egg centers are completely set, the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the centers reach 160°F. Don't keep baking them once they're done.

8. While they bake, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer.

9. Stir together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Slowly whisk it into the simmering gravy and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring until thickened.

10. Let the bites rest for 5 minutes, carefully loosen them from the pan, and serve hot with the gravy on the side.

🔥 Big Back Fact: Traditional Egg Foo Young is usually fried as a larger egg patty. These turn that idea into individual bites

The UNSUNG story of: John Dudley 1899-1963

The photo was taken in September 1959 at the Mississippi State Penitentiary, notoriously known as Parchman Farm. Music historians on platforms like The Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum note that since Dudley was incarcerated, he did not have his own instrument. The acoustic guitar he is holding was actually a Martin guitar brought by Alan Lomax himself for the inmates to use during the recording sessions.

John Dudley was convicted of a petty crime of loitering in the wrong place at the wrong time and arrested under draconian laws. Parchman Farm functioned essentially as a massive state-run cotton plantation. The prison deliberately utilized these arrests to maintain a continuous, unpaid labor force of Black convicts to harvest crops and work the dairies.

09/17/2026

The photograph was taken by William Ryerson on April 6, 1968 just two days after Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. It captures the front display window of the Jordan Marsh department store in Boston, Massachusetts.

The store created a solemn tribute featuring a large framed portrait of Dr. King surrounded by floral arrangements. At the bottom, a hand-written placard reads: "He had a dream... Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 1929–1968.

In the reflection of the glass, you can see the marquee of the Uptown Theatre located across the street. A delivery truck with a sign that reads "Bond Bread" reversed is also visible driving down the busy city street.
