On The Shoulders of Giants: Growing Where We Are Planted

This year, the Detroit Historical Museum honors the great legacy of toil and resistance in the Black community via the urban agricultire movement. 

African Americans have a unique relationship to land as a way of belonging and place making. From the largely agrarian South to an industrial North, Black Americans have used gardens as a means to sustain and also to remember. 

This program will include a Panel w/Malik Yakini, founder of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network (DBCFSN) and D-Town Farms Tepfirah Rushdan, Co-Director of Keep Growing Detroit on the power of owning your own food pipeline (1-2:30P)

There will be a fun drop in craft (12-5P) and Entrepreneurs from around the city featured in our annual marketplace (12-5P) and more!
