Description
Since Houston’s founding, African Americans have had complex relationships to the land, some uplifting and celebratory, some rooted in oppression and injustice. The 3-part Witness Series will explore the many profound experiences of African-Americans to the Land of Southeast Texas and will incorporate dynamic, participatory talks, art, hikes, and other experiences.
Part 1 of this series, Witness: The Long Arc will include Ivy Lawrence-Wells of Ivy Leaf Farms, Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud of Bayou City Waterkeeper and Dr. Marco Robinson of Prairie View A&M University, who will share their experience with the past, present, and future relationships of African Americans to the Land of Southeast Texas and engage the Houston Botanic Garden audience in a discussion that will take the form of breakout sessions while walking the Houston Botanic Garden grounds. Part 1 of Witness: The Long Arc will be moderated by Jaime Gonzalez of the Nature Conservancy, Kristi Rangel, the 2021 Houston Coalition Against Hate Emerging Artist of the Year, and Michael Godoy of the Houston Botanic Garden.
