Edgar 'Dooky' Chase Jr.
Dooky and Leah.
A legend -- restaurateur, musician, and human rights activist -- via the New Orleans Times-Picayune. The food was great, the music was awesome, and black and white could meet together in freedom. The cops didn't mess with Dooky. The end. That's a real and practical force for positive change in one person. Thank you, sir!
