Though now largely forgotten, UW-Madison chef Carson Gulley was a celebrated figure in the mid-twentieth century, known for crossing racial barriers in his job as a culinary instructor, radio and television celebrity chef, and as a pioneer in the local struggle for equal housing. Gulley is an important part of the story of African Americans in Wisconsin, highlighting the obstacles many African Americans encountered as they tried to participate in the American Dream in this state.
Scott Seyforth, Assistant Director of Residence Life for Academic Initiatives at UW-Madison, will share stories from the life of Carson Gulley as attendees enjoy a dinner featuring recipes Gulley created and featured in his many cookbooks.
