Author Event: "Freedom Farmers" with Monica M. White 

Uncle Bobbie's welcomed author-scholar Monica M. White for a book talk and signing of Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and The Black Freedom Movement.
About the book: Freedom Farmers expands the historical narrative of the black freedom struggle to embrace the work, roles, and contributions of southern black farmers and the organizations they formed. Whereas existing scholarship generally views agriculture as a site of oppression and exploitation of black people, this book reveals agriculture as a site of resistance and provides a historical foundation that adds meaning and context to current conversations around the resurgence of food justice/sovereignty movements in urban spaces like Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York City, and New Orleans.
