Audio: Celebrating Mildred Council's legacy and what's next for Mama Dip's Kitchen
Posted Jan 17, 2024

The Council family has voted to sell the restaurant and the land where it sits, a big move for the town’s oldest Black-owned restaurant. Leoneda Inge takes us to Chapel Hill where an African American family works to make sure “Mama Dip’s” legacy lives on.
