- Leah Chase's New Orleans restaurant Dooky Chase changed the course of American history over gumbo and fried chicken. During the civil rights movement, it was a place where white and black people came together, where activists planned protests and where the police entered but did not disturb -- and it continues to operate in the same spirit today. In conversation with TEDWomen Curator Pat Mitchell, the 94-year old Queen of Creole Cuisine shares her wisdom from a lifetime of activism, speaking up and cooking.

Mrs. Chase uses words like 'visionary', 'uplift', 'support', 'involvement'...she's a force to be reckoned with. Her philosophy and take on life..are as well flavored and delectable as her cooking!!
R.I.P. a wonderful culinary legend and civil rights hero. 1923-2019
What a wonderful woman and stories! Wow! I guess she was born 1923 or so. It is hard to imagine the changes she's seen.
There's a difference between knowledge and wisdom this great lady just happens to have both!
Video of year, thank you TED. Love and respect for you Madam Chase :)
Me too Kathryn...I was born here in NYC, in 1948. I am just hitting my stride now, as a writer. I married for the first time, when I was nearly 60...now that my caregiving tasks are complete and mom was called Home last year (at 95)..we will be moving back to New Orleans, where my hubby is from. He was a longshoreman/merchant seaman who came up to New York after Katrina. We met and became friends, and wed in 2008. I cannot WAIT for the next chapter, of our lives...in NOLA.. where I will continue to write, and advocate for children in the foster care system.
This was a treat. I'm only 72 now, but I was part of that baby boomers generation of the 1960s. We were the last generation to grow up sitting on the floor at the knee of our elders listening to "stories". In 1953, our neighbor was a retired teacher who had been born the year the year the Civil War started (1861). I was just overwhelmed by how much she must have witnessed in her lifetime. After all, my dad was trying to figure out which vacuum tube had burned out on our new console television set. He could take the tube(s) to the drug store to test them and buy replacements. If he was lucky, he could replace them in time for the set to "warm up" for 15-30 minutes. Daily broadcasts were for 3 hours every evening. Daily newspapers and newsreels at the movies were how we got most of our information. However, I remember parents and grandparents clustered around large console radios after dinner. When we lose our ability to listen, we lose respect for history, we lose respect for the experience of others and we lose the ability to negotiate solutions to the difficult problems.
What a beautiful spirit. We still need the lessons learned from our elders. She made it clear we move on but don't forget the past. RIP Ms. Leah, your passion shall live forever.
I'm so glad I saw this. Rest in peace 😍 Have to go to her restaurant.
Mama Chase, GOD bless you!!!
She holds the saying: Be wise with your age.
May she R.I.P. God bless her family and loved ones during this time of grief.
