In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at the history of Black farmers in the United States. Specifically, I look at how systems of oppression, slavery, and the racist machinations of the USDA dispossessed Black farmers of copious amounts of land. Over the course of three centuries, white settlers and white supremacist governmental operations made it extremely hard to be a Black farmer. That being said, Black farmers have a rich history of resistance and collective struggle. From farmer's unions to the Black belt communist and sharecropper uprisings, to the teachings and innovations of Booker T. Whatley and George Washington Carver, Black farmers have pushed back against America's white supremacist industrial agricultural system. In doing so, black farmers have developed agricultural techniques that guide us towards new anti-racist, anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist paths.
