This has made me think again about the beautiful work of Beronda Montgomery, as well as the soil collections at the EJI Museum in Montgomery, AL--one of the most moving museum collections I've ever seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=njWH...

"That plants, including trees, hold the transformed breath of decades of human life in their physical form positions them as powerful vessels of the present, even as they represent and testify to history and those from their past." - Beronda L. Montgomery

I contributed to @science.org's "American Science at 250": I shared that "In 1776, I would not have been a tenured professor at any university in the US...At that time, I would have endured the same fate as my ancestors: I would have been someone’s property." Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Screenshot with text that reads: "In 1776, I would not have been a tenured professor at any university in the US. As a Black woman, a formal education would have been beyond my reach legally. At that time, I would have endured the same fate as my ancestors: I would have been someone’s property. Despite a lack of recognition of their full humanity, African Americans of this era were accomplished scientists and agriculturalists. (Carver, for example, was born enslaved—a fact many fail to recall.)"
