  • Willora "Peaches" Ephram opened Peaches Restaurant on Farish Street in 1961. During the Civil Rights Movement, Peaches Restaurant served as a safe have for activists and Peaches herself provided Freedom Riders with food despite the personal risk. Since then, Peaches has grown into a soul food mecca visited by the likes of Muhammed Ali and President Barak Obama.

    Some local friends brought us there when my band was on tour and played in Jackson. They told us it would be the best fried chicken we had ever tasted. It indeed more than lived up to the billing. Peaches was not there, but Roderick was and he asked if we had a CD that he could buy for their jukebox! My understanding is that they did indeed put our CD in their jukebox.
    I'm sorry to hear that Peaches has died and the restaurant is closed. I'll always remember my meal there.
