Join us for a screening of "Farming While Black," a powerful documentary that explores the historical and ongoing struggles of Black farmers in the United States. The film highlights the experiences of a new generation of Black farmers reclaiming land and reconnecting with their ancestral roots. After the screening, engage in a dynamic panel discussion with Brea Baker, author of "Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft and the Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership," and a member of the Triangle Black Farmer’s Market Collective. Moderated by Janelle Jennings-Alexander, Strategy Director of Complete College America, this discussion will delve into the fight for land justice and the revitalization of Black farming communities. Don't miss this important conversation on history, resilience, and the future of Black land ownership!
