Event Description 

Learn about a new account of Black modernity that centers the Tuskegee Institute’s vision of agrarian worldmaking. This event shows the significance of farming and agriculture for southern African American and Afro-Caribbean peoples in the late-19th-to-early-20th centuries as modes of intellectual production, subject formation, aesthetic innovation, and self-determination. Speakers will consider how generations adapted Tuskegee’s model of racial uplift to forge new theories and practices of racial progress
