Ivy Talk: African American Farmers in Albemarle County
Join us as we explore the lives of African American farmers in Albemarle County and the trials, tribulations, and triumphs that they faced. We will host descendants from three different African American farming families in Albemarle County. We will explore who these farmers were, how farming supported their livelihoods, and how they contributed to their communities. These farmers were Mr. James R. Butler, who served as the Extension Agent after Conly Greer retired, Mr. Willie Hudson, of Esmont, and Mr. Kenton Sheffield Gardner, of Esmont.
This talk will be offered on Zoom. The talk is free, but pre-registration is required through this link: https://app.donorview.com/QOE8Z
