AGENDA
This special session examines the radical cultural and political technologies Black people innovated to help feed, house and free each other from jail in the midst of civil rights political struggle
- Exploring the ways in which Black people fed each other in the midst of movement work
- Looking at the politics of Black land usage during the modern civil rights movement
At the end of Marco’s presentation NESAWG will invite participants to a discussion on how this session connects to today’s land and food system in the Northeast region. What lessons can we learn about this history and mobilize to create the systems change needed? With this foundation that was laid out, how do we envision a farm and food system change rooted in love and what role should NESAWG be playing in the region?
