Remembering Eudora Boxley, a groundbreaking TV chef from the early days of WLAC

Forrest Sanders recently introduced us to a Nashville heroine named Eudora Boxley. She was the first black woman to have a television cooking show in Nashville. Her grandson fondly described Eudora and how she raised him and how proud he and the family were of her impact not only on WLAC but on a city during the turbulent civil rights movement. A woman who did extraordinary things at a time when history did not expect her to.
