Southern Classics: An Historic Collection of Family Recipes is an American cookbook that celebrates the life of Luvella Thompson Smith, an octogenarian woman who challenged the injustices of the south in her hometown of Montgomery, Alabama, choosing to seek a new life in Cleveland, Ohio during the years of the Great Migration. Luvella fought for and achieved the American Dream and is recognized as a pillar of her church and community in Cleveland, Ohio today. A collaboration of three generations of African-American women, the collection captures the voice and tutelage of Luvella Smith, featuring the points of view of her daughter, Elizabeth Ann Dickerson, and granddaughter, Karen Denise Smith. Featured are classic southern and traditional American dishes such as spoon bread and succotash. Readers will relish the recipes and share them with family and friends.
