Audio: Celebrating Mildred Council's legacy and what's next for Mama Dip's Kitchen

Posted Jan 17, 2024
The late Mildred Council opened her restaurant Mama Dip’s Kitchen in the 1970s. 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. (WUNC)
