为了纪念Junteenth,这个假期承认美国的奴隶制终结,不断增长的文化举行了一整天的广播提升布拉克k voices in the food system and highlight ways to promote justice.
The Juneteenth Broadcast featured presenters including Queen Quet of the Gullah/Geechee Nation, farmers Leah Penniman and Karen Washington, Malik Yakini of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network, Brooklyn Queens Land Trust board president Sawdayah Brownlee, and more.
该广播是在6月19日星期五现场直播的,现在可以在AGC的YouTube channel。Conversations ranged in subjects including closing the food movement’s generational gap, agricultural oppression, seed sovereignty, and plants that have played a role in Black freedom. The full schedule is在这里可用。
“I’m excited to participate in The Juneteenth Broadcast because I’m looking forward to people understanding that the narrative that Black people in Texas were not free until the Union Army General Granger arrived and read their proclamation is false,” Brownlee, who organized and will present in a conversation on land and liberation, told Food Tank via email. “Freedom is not a one-time event given to oppressed people by the state.”
“Just as it took a collective and organized effort of Black people freeing themselves across the South, it will take collaboration, communication, and strategic efforts to divest from the inequitable food system that exists and reclaim land to grow our communities on,” Brownlee said.
成长中的文化(AGC)致力于通过支持农民的自主权和创新,土地所有权和传统知识共享来建立更可持续的食品系统。除了将其平台转移到Junteenth的黑色食品系统声音外,AGC还希望广播将邀请公司,基金会,捐助者和盟友与黑人社区保持一致并聆听他们的故事。
第十二广播是AGC的特别版对正义系列的渴望,每周一次有关建立杂化食品系统的直播对话。嘉宾包括黑人农民和养蜂人萨曼莎·福克斯(Samantha Foxx),巴勒斯坦传家宝种子图书馆创始人薇薇安·武士(Vivien Sansour)以及性别平等倡导者韦科维(Wekole)(阿科尔)Tsuhah和Seno Tsuhah。
