Description
Through striking photographs and deeply personal interviews, this book documents the lives, work, and traditions of Black farmers across America. It offers an intimate look at the challenges facing African American agricultural communities—including economic hardship, discrimination, and the loss of family land—while celebrating their resilience, independence, and enduring connection to the land. Combining visual storytelling with firsthand voices, the work serves as both a portrait of contemporary rural life and a tribute to an essential yet often overlooked part of American history.
