Miller Garden Club Film Series: Farming While Black

Leah Penniman, co-founder of Soul Fire Farm, reflects on the plight of Black farmers in the United States. From the height of Black-owned farms at 14% in 1910 to less than 2% today, Leah, and other compatriots help propel a rising generation of Black farmers finding strength in the deep historical knowledge of African agrarianism — and its potential to save the planet. 

Co-hosted by the Miller Garden Club, Gary Food Council, and Gary International Black Film Fest.
