AC Reeves has this grand vision for her adopted hometown of Selma, the Queen City of Alabama’s Black Belt and sacred battleground of the Civil Rights Movement. If she can just get everybody to sit down together over a plate of homecooked food, Reeves believes, they won’t be able to resist Selma’s charms. “My goal is, if we can catch people long enough, they will see us and hear us and fall in love with us, and when they do, I feel like Selma will heal,” she says. “And when Selma heals, she will change the world again.” To that end, Reeves, a self-professed “pathological do-gooder,” has launched what she calls the 100 Plates Culinary Arts Installation.
