The little-known history of Annie Fisher and her famous beaten biscuits
Annie Fisher is a little-known Black caterer whose story was almost lost to history. Despite the barriers brought by the Jim Crow era, Fisher built a million-dollar empire with her famous beaten biscuits, which grew in popularity far beyond her hometown of Columbia, Missouri.
KCUR's Mackenzie Martin shares her story, which was produced for the "A People's History of Kansas City" podcast in collaboration with Gravy from the Southern Foodways Alliance.
