Welcome to the Southern Foodways Alliance -- an institute of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture with headquarters at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi. The Southern Foodways Alliance documents and celebrates the diverse food cultures of the American South. We set a common table where black and white, rich and poor -- all who gather-- may consider our history and our future in a spirit of reconciliation. |
2004 Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award Martha Hawkins
Martha Hawkins, proprietor of the restaurant, Martha's Place in Montgomery, Alabama, won the 2004 Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award. In addition to making a monetary contribution to her social justice foundation, the SFA, in concert with the Fertel Foundation, commissioned a film, "The Welcome Table," by Joe York.

Help the Southern Foodways Alliance celebrate, preserve, promote, and nurture the traditional and developing food culture of the American South.
Each fall, the SFA (with support from the Fertel Foundation) honors an unsung hero or heroine, a foodways tradition bearer of note, with the Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award. |
