About 60 Tucsonans contributed short remembrances of their experiences here and 85 recipes for “Meals and Memoirs II: Recipes and Recollections of African Americans in Tucson.”
Bill Finley Special to the Arizona Daily Star Not all of us remember Dunbar School, the all-Black grade school just north of downtown Tucson, but Tani Sanchez does. She grew up two blocks away. Her mom was a teacher there.
People are also reading… “I guess it’s a combination of all those things,” Sanchez said, “but they’re all tied together by the recipes. Food has always been part of our lives. It’s part of who we are. When Black people get together, they always bring food. And tell stories. So doing it this way just feels natural, right?”Some 60 Tucsonans have contributed short remembrances of their experiences here.
Sanchez’s students did most of the interviews and collected most of the recipes. She herself updated some of the narrative, provided some segues and put things all together. The book was ready for release in 2020 but was delayed by the pandemic. Like Sanchez’s own church, Prince Chapel, Mount Calvary Baptist in Sugar Hill had a large congregation. It was the cultural, educational and social hub for hundreds of families.
