Shallowford Road Walmart Closing Is Representative Of Food Apartheid - And Response (2) Sunday, February 28, 2021
The Unity Group is saddened and dismayed to hear of the closing of the Walmart Grocery store on Shallowford Road. While we recognize that the overall goal is for businesses to reach a level that obtains profit maximization, in our estimation, this recent closure is indicative of a problem that has continued to be persistent in marginalized and disadvantaged communities for more than a decade. Throughout that duration, Food Lions have closed in multiple locations while Food City, Buehler’s and other neighborhood markets have been shuttered. These closures have only been exacerbated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because of this connection, the hearty dish is sometimes called liberation soup, a direct reference to the liberation of Haiti from France in 1804, making the Caribbean country the first Black republic in the world.
It s also the dish that sparked controversy and conversation earlier this month when Bon Appétit published a recipe excerpted from chef Marcus Samuelsson s cookbook, The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food: A Cookbook. Although the recipe was titled Independence Soup in the cookbook, it was labeled soup joumou in the print edition of the magazine s holiday issue and on its website.
