Retaining and Protecting Black-Owned Land
December 14, 2021
6:30pm-7:30pm
Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC)
In the years between 1920 and 2017, the number of Black-owned farms in the U.S. dropped from more than 900,000 to less than 50,000; their acreage shrank from between 16-19 million to just 2.5 million. Black families who own land today and want to protect it continue to face challenges related to a legacy of discrimination and involuntary dispossession.
Join PEC Director of State Policy Dan Holmes and Black Family Land Trust Executive Director Ebonie Alexander for the fourth webinar in PEC’s Quarterly Keynote series, a virtual conversation about efforts to retain and conserve Black-owned farms and family lands.
