Remembering Eudora Boxley, a trailblazing TV cook from WLAC's early days
I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.

The program first arrived at Lipscomb ten years ago. At that time, there were three students in it. Since then, 93 students, including Kate, have taken part. By taking two classes of their choosing in a semester, the students get to attend campus events, get support from peer mentors, live in a dorm if they like, and just get the college experience.
