Congress of Racial Equality
Amistad Research Center
New Orleans, United States
Food is a fundamental aspect of New Orleans, and Dooky Chase's Restaurant has long been a pillar of the city's food culture, as well as a meeting place for civil rights activists and politicians. Founded in 1941 by Emily and Dooky Chase, Sr., the restaurant began as a sandwich shop and lottery ticket outlet. This banquet invitation speaks to the restaurant's role in the New Orleans civil rights movement.
