How do you feed 30 million people? We sat down with David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, to discuss the unprecedented famine spreading across South Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Nigeria and what his organization is doing about it right now. And how you can help, too. Can cooking and agriculture help foster civil rights and social justice? In his provocative new book, The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South, author and historian John T. Edge argues, in the hands of regional heroes, they do. He's in conversation with poet Kevin Young, director of Harlem's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, soon-to-be poetry editor of The New Yorker and a man with Southern roots of his own. Finally, one of the heroes of Edge's book, Mashama Bailey, chef-partner of The Grey in Savannah, Georgia explains the enduring magic of that city's "Thrill Ladies" in a Madeleine Moment you won't want to miss.
