Description
Today’s Black History Story: White People Are Stealing From Us AGAIN Using This Scheme
White supremacy is starving Black America, almost literally snatching food from its mouth. Access to healthy food continues to decline, and countless vulnerable Black people are slowly perishing because of it. But there's a growing population pushing against this racist food system... and it's a population that might surprise you: Black farmer-activists. Today, we're sitting down with Cheryl Whilby to learn about the Black tradition of farming and how Black farmers are transforming the food system by returning to the soil.
Cheryl Whilby is the Communications & Development Director at Soul Fire Farm, "an Afro-Indigenous-centered community farm committed to uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system." She is also one of the 12 Black food system leaders who developed the Anti-Racist Farmers Market Toolkit in collaboration with the Farmers Market Coalition.

Destroying the Narrative White Hollywood Created: No matter how many tickets we buy, or how many hours we watch, Black Americans still have very little influence over what film or television gets made - or how it portrays us. The images of Black people pumped out to the mainstream range from affirming to annoying to actively damaging. Morehouse’s Dr. Stephane Dunn helps us unpack how we got here. She is one of the founding members of Morehouse’s Cinema, Television, & Emerging Media Studies Program, serves as its program director, and takes us from "Birth of a Nation" to "Good Times" to Tyler Perry. by Black History Year
