Wonderful journey as insight ! Must watch!
More Stephen Satterfield please! He's a great documentarian!
This program brought me back to my childhood. What a wonderful experience, l was brought up in this area. But born in Lagos, my parents were a traveler. I could actually right a book. Now living in London for over 5 decades.

soul food is regular food seasoned with pure copium
Season 2 is coming 22nd November 2023.
If you have not tried the rice that Glenn Roberts produces, you have not lived. After watching this, I ordered it. I'm a Black woman in London. My husband was a child rice farmer in the Ivory Coast and it brought him right back his childhood. I gave 2 bags to my neighbour who is originally from Bangladesh, he said the same thing – this is the rice he use to grow up with; but they no longer produced. AAA rice.
Hate to break it to you but MOST BLACK AMERICANS WERE ALREADY HERE. WALTER PLECKER RECLASSIFIED INDIANS TO BLACK.
Pan Africanism is DEAD. Black Americans are amalgamated with onpy 3% of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. This docuseries is based on McGraw Hill LIES.
I’ve been watching this since it came out & I watched it today probably for the 11th time because it has instilled a sense of community I have yet to receive anywhere else all of my 31 years on this earth. Thank you & I truly am anticipating the second season 🫶🏽
The amount of crying I did through the first few episodes….WHEW!!!!
I love the book. Can't wait to see the whole series.
Where is season2!!! 😢
If you don’t think American cuisine is really black cuisine, go to England and see what there eating.
2023?
If you don't cry while watching this series at least once, if your mind isn't blown by how historical racism was covered up just once, if you're not outraged by ongoing systemic racism just once by this series, then you don't deserve to eat the AMAZING cuisine that's shared in this show which has become not just staple in the US but around the world. Learn about the dishes you love from this show and appreciate the troubled and terrible journey it took to make them.
What a stupid f**** ignorant show keep the f**** political b***** out of it that's just been done for over two centuries
Oh thought this was Tad music, my bad.
African American culture is a whole different culture to white america.
This is American Indian Food.
WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE COMING OUT?????
I am so happy they are bringing season 2 cant wait plz we want more history more history
Actually it's not all African inspired. Many of the American cuisine has elements from native american indigenous peope, Germany, France, Spain and africa so to say it's all African is not accurate. I know people want to be the first to claim it first but after watching the documentary all I can gain is jealousy. I spoke to many Africans from Africa and they said American food is not African food! Whether you want to say it's soul food or not. Many African slaves were sold to middle East and India for spices that made African cuisine different years before the slave trade. Every thing from the documentary is inaccurate. I do see a 'Fusion' of spices but not solely African. Similarly, Mexico has taken the middle East technique of making lamb, chicken and beef schwarma (rotisserie) and shaving the meat off and putting it into tacos. Is this now 'Mexican-ness?' I don't hear any Mexicans say this is Mexican tacos they give credit to the rotisserie skills from the middle East. Everything we eat in America is fusion not soul food not slave food. However, I do want to say is many black folks that I hear on tv always talk about the past, let's move forward into the future and see what black geniuses can do for the world! Africa is turning into a super giant in technology and space let's move towards the future!

This was fantastic
I watched this because it was so intriguing to learn about especially new connections to real african food but you do realize it is kind of loud and commercial always is and you do ask way as a Spanish person as ours isn’t. Don’t know. But it was good though to learn about.
I was in tears and famished by the time I finished this series. Phenomenal!!
Love this
Our history is the bible
Watching this as an African I felt for the first time a sense of family between us Africans and African Americans. I feel for the first time that African Americans are a part of us, they are family, they are our people. I feel a deep sense of love for and connection to Africans and African Americans. Love to all who read this comment from a Zambian gal in SA/Mzansi.
