'(Land) allows us to navigate in this world, to create our history, to respect our history, but also bring forth our future,' said chef Adrian Lipscombe.
"It started with a special field order, Number 15, by General Sherman, to give 40 acres and a mule to the slaves that were released from the Civil War that were following him," Lipscombe said."And the question he asked is, 'What do you want?' And one of them stood up and said, 'Land.'"In less than a year, Lipscombe was able to raise more than $150,000 on GoFundMe, allowing her to purchase the land for 40 Acres and a Mule.
"Slaves were here," she said."… As an African American chef, I am really interested in reclaiming the narrative of where the food of this country started."
