Grist magazine really understands that The Black/Land Project is about more than just agriculture: it’s about the very relationship between race and place.

Be sure to read Andrea Appleton’s interview with Black/Land founder Mistinguette Smith, “Black to the Land: Project explores connections between race and place” in the June edition of the online magazine. The interview draws the connections between U-Pick farms,  redlining and the Underground Railroad.

You can find more of Appleton’s fantastic Grist posts, which focus on race and place, here.
