B & B Cafe, 1962
The African-American-owned B & B Cafe was tucked away in an alley just off the northwest corner of the Square. This is one of only a few known images of the cafe. Butch Morgan, the owner, is seated in booth. While long gone, the cafe, with its southern plate lunches and fried pies, is still part of the collective memory of Oxford, Mississippi.
