Farming While Black

Documentary Film Series
Second Fridays

A feature film about the rising generation of young black farmers.
Featuring Leah Penniman, author of “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 Afro-Indigenous agrarianism — and its potential to save the planet.
