I watch this episode of Chasing Flavor for several reasons. I love ice cream and have become a fan of Carla Hall. I was surprised when I saw the picture of Mr. Augustus Thomas.
As an African American catholic woman, involved in the Catholic Church, I was surprised to see that you have the wrong picture of Mr. Augustus Thomas. Mr. Thomas may have invented the process of making ice cream, however the picture displayed is that of Venerable Fr. John Augustus Tolton of Missouri.
Rev. Tolton is currently on the Road to sainthood in the Catholic Church. I was surprised that additional research was not done to ensure that the correct picture was obtained. The picture displayed on the episode is that of Rev. Tolton in his priestly garb.
A little history of Rev. Tolton. Venerable Augustus Tolton was ordained a priest in Rome at age 31 in 1886 and returned to the US to serve the black community. His first mass was held in Quincy, IL. He was the first black priest in the United States.
Please google Rev. Augustus Tolton and do additional research and find the correct picture of Mr. Augustus Thomas. Thank you.
