They are hosting a lecture with Dr. Monica White, professor of Environmental Justice at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and author of Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and the Black Freedom Movement(2019). This free talk will explore the contributions of Black farmers and reveal agriculture as a site of resistance in context to the current food justice movement.
