Southern Homecoming Traditions is both a cookbook and a celebration of the five historic Black higher-education institutions that comprise the Atlanta University Center Consortium:  Morehouse, Spelman and Morris Brown Colleges, Clark-Atlanta University, Interdenominational Theological Center, and Morehouse School of Medicine.

Author Carolyn Quick Tillery uses the evocative power of food to take us back to the institutions where so many great Black American leaders were educated, and the region where so many great dishes were created. With over 200 mouthwatering recipes, along with powerful history, moving remembrances, and stunning archival photographs, this book is a homecoming table laden with memories, pride, and pleasure.
