In hour one Terry is joined by Steve Pennaz, Monica White, and Steve Gibson to discuss little details and techniques to become better fishers, tick awareness, and updates at Horsetooth and Larimer County activities. 

A conversation with Monica White (University of Nottingham) about the earliest contacts between Constantinople and the first Rus'-Varangian raiders, traders, and mercenaries to cross the Black Sea. Who were these people, what did they want, and how did contact with east Roman culture change them? The conversation is based on a number of Monica's recent publications, including 'Early Rus: The Nexus of Empires'; 'The Byzantine "Charm Defensive" and the Rus''; and 'Leo VI and the Transformation of Byzantine Strategic Thinking about the Rus'' (for full references, see her CV on academia).

In this special episode, I discuss how Byzantium viewed Rus and aspects of their relationship with Dr Monica White of the University of Nottingham.

A recent study from The New Republic which analyzed historical data from 1920 to 1997, found that the value of stolen Black farmland in that period equates to $326 Billion dollars today.  But Black land has been, and remains a site of Black resistance. To learn more about the ways Black people and communities use land, farming, and food justice as tools of resistance against racial inequality, we speak with Monica White, professor of environmental justice at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and the Black Freedom Movement.  Then, we hear from one Black freedom farmer in North Carolina about his Black land reclamation project. Kamal Bell, is the founder of Sankofa Farms in Cedar Grove, North Carolina.  There, he grows food on a 12-acre farm, and has an education program working with Black youth and teaching them about food deserts and ancestral history.    

Today, we're talking to Dr. Jasmine Ratliff, who goes by Dr. Jas, and is an applied food systems research and policy specialist, and co-executive director of the National Black Food and Justice Alliance. She believes that your zip code should not determine your life expectancy and that building relationships are essential to creating a sustainable and just food system. Interview Summary   So let's begin with this. Could you tell our listeners a little bit about The National Black Food and Justice Alliance and some about your work there?   Yes. The National Black Food and Justice Alliance is a coalition of organizations. So we're not just one organizations. We represent multiple others, about 50 now, and we are committed to building Black leadership and Black food sovereignty.   Those are really important goals, and not easy ones to reach for sure. So let's dig in a little bit about how you go about doing that. Let's start with kind of your vision. How do you envision food justice and how do you think about the term food sovereignty?   I work at the Alliance. And at the National Black Food and Justice Alliance, we focus on Black food sovereignty and self-determining food economies, and specifically land justice. And we approach these through a lens of healing and organizing and resistance against anti-Blackness. And all of the work that we do is in pursuit of food justice. So I have a couple definitions. Founding executive director Dara Cooper defined food justice as a process whereby communities most impacted and exploited by our current corporate-controlled, extractive agricultural system shift power to reshape, redefine, and provide indigenous, community-based solutions to accessing and controlling food. And that includes the means to produce food that it is humanizing, fair, healthy, accessible, racially equitable, environmentally sound, and just. That's how I feel about food justice and it leads us right into food sovereignty. So I know you mentioned it's an overall long goal, and we borrow this one from La Via Campesina, but food sovereignty is the right for peoples to define their own food and agricultural systems, instead of food being subject to international market forces - as we all know food is so globalized. So sovereignty is absolutely our ultimate goal and it can't be achieved without confronting actual governance. So we work to ensure that Black people not only have the right, but the ability to control our food.   It really helps to have those definitions. And let's talk just a little bit more about this. So you talked about decision making, needing to reside in the community where the issues are occurring and you mentioned power transfer. Can you just give us some examples of where the system doesn't support these kind of things? Like how is the current system not empower people, and how does it strip people of decision making about their own food systems?   Yes! I didn't actually plan to share this one, but I will. A lot of people refer to your geographic location, and I know in my bio you mentioned this, but your zip code shouldn't determine your life expectancy. And right now that does. We don't have the autonomy to create the environment around us. It's so saturated with capitalism and other things that don't put people first. So I think food apartheid instead of the food desert reference is a real way that people are disenfranchised and not in power. And that's also a definition from Dara Cooper, that it's the systemic destruction of Black self-determination to control our food. This includes land, resource stuff, and discrimination, hypersaturation of destructive foods and predatory marketing in a blatantly discriminatory, corporate-controlled food system that results in our communities suffering from some of the highest rates of heart disease and diabetes of all time. Many, like I said, use the term food desert, but food apartheid is a much more accurate representation of the structural, racialized inequities that are perpetuated through our current system.   Okay, thanks. There's a lot in there that needs to kind of get disentangled. So let's talk about some possible advances in solutions. And I know in this context, food co-ops come up a lot. In your mind, how do food co-ops become a tool for not just providing healthy food for communities but also to make movement on racial and economic justice?   Yes, I think co-ops are about collective power. They're not just a non-extractive way to exchange goods and services, but they're about the collective buying power, the collective political power, and especially the collective people power. It's a way that you can actually, in person, in real life, practice democratic governance. And you can create shared principles and values and shared wealth and authority and it's not concentrated in just the hands of a few, or just the people who are making decisions. And it's not just an economic sense. I really listen to all our members who are in the process of building of even a retail store, grocery, co-op, and it's about a political space. It's more than just groceries. So they're a pillar of our community. And then especially in the Black community, co-ops have always been built out of necessity. I love Dr. Monica White's "Freedom Farmers" book, when she describes Fannie Lou Hamer, when it describes food as a political weapon. We know we can control our food systems and the means of production when we create these places of distribution, and we can use them as a tool to build towards freedom. So I'm excited to be doing that work with the Alliance.   Well, it's exciting to me. And when you talk about food co-ops being more than groceries, let's explore that a little bit more if you wouldn't mind. So if you walked into a food co-op, you'd get a picture of things, groceries, but you're building a picture here that talks a lot more than just those things. So there's community empowerment, there's community engagement, there's wealth creation in the community. But I'm saying these things and you're the one who really knows them. So tell us a little bit more about what's there besides the groceries.   Yeah, there is absolutely community. There's spaces for people to learn together about healthy products. There can be a cooking class attached. When I think about these things, I'm speaking about specific co-ops. One in Dayton, Ohio, Gem City, they have a doula co-op and a health room where maternal health access can be made available. There's also just the vibe. There's the music that you hear. There's the people that you see. It's like not only providing jobs, but it's providing living wage jobs that are able to provide upper mobilization. So it's, like I said, more than groceries. It's a vibe. It's community. It's all the things that you could imagine, but sometimes people outside of the community aren't able to imagine that. Like investors and things. If there isn't a grocery store there for the past 50 years, why would someone bring one there now? But when the community knows that this is something that they need and they're putting their all into it, they'll build it for 10 to 12 years before they even see a store. So I'm excited to actually go into one of the co-ops in Detroit and they're groundbreaking this weekend, so I know that they'll be building it really soon and I can open the doors and be their guest.   So my background is being a researcher and the researcher ordinarily looks at a situation like this and says what kind of outcomes can be measured? And one thing that the researchers might automatically think about would be what are the health outcomes in the community from having healthier diets? But you're talking about a lot more than that, even intangible things like morale of the community, the engagement, the happiness, and then of course there's the economic development. So it sounds like there's an awful lot involved in these efforts, isn't there?   Absolutely. And organizing them, you never know what you'll get when you bring the community together. And beautiful things are born especially when they have control. And it's about participatory budgeting as well and everyone being clear where the funds are going, and it feels good to be a part of something that you can see the effort, the fruits of your labor.   So I'm assuming that your theory on this is that if the solutions for these very significant food problems come from within the community itself, you're going to get more buy-in, better morale, and ultimately better solutions. Is that correct?   Absolutely, right on.   Let me ask a final question about farmers, because they're obviously a really important part of this. Could you talk about the institutional and systemic harm that Black farmers and landowners have experienced and how your Alliance is going about addressing this?   I'm sure a lot of people have heard the statistic about the land that Black farmers no longer have control over. We think back into the 1920s when there were nearly 1 million Black farmers in the United States, and now we're less than 1% of farmers, but more so the land that has been taken away. It's said to be between more than 15 to 19 million acres. And I say land that's been taken away because land has never been lost. You can lose your keys. You can't lose land. It's been Black communities, systemically disenfranchised, and has been this way for decades. And it's interesting to see it continue to play out even today with the debt relief for Black farmers, lawsuits that are still going on. The Alliance is supporting that. But more importantly, we're building an alternative. We're looking to remove land from the speculative market. We have a goal of 15 million acres to do such where it will be in perpetually hands of Black land stewards to continue to build for Black food sovereignty. So that's our resource commons, and that is actually democratically governed by seven of our members on our Resource Commons Council. We're looking to have our first piece of land this year and to continue building and purchasing and removing the land from the speculative market. We are also hosting land stewardship trainings throughout the United States with our members and resourcing them to ensure that we're not only having land to steward, but also having stewards.     Bio:   Dr. Jas is an applied food systems research and policy-based specialist.

An equitable approach to assessment is critical for planning curriculum and instruction, and for authentically documenting what students know. Dr. Monica White of the NYC DOE Innovation Zone and Dr. Tangela Williams of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools join us this week to speak on how equitable assessments can broaden our understanding of student knowledge, and how schools and districts can address their own assessment practices.

For even in the armor of God as written in Ephesians 6:15, the Gospel of Peace is used; which, happens to be part of the covenant of peace which is closely connected to the covenant of holy matrimony with Yahweh. Please study the Greek word for peace for greater context and insight into its correlation with marriage, harmony, and joining within the context of warfare and holy matrimony seen also in Song of Solomon 8:6 where the Bride addresses her husband as a man of valor requesting to serve him as a seal over his heart and arm which also speaks to the prophecy in Jeremiah 31:22 praise God!

Fannie Lou Hamer is increasingly recognized for her leadership with the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party, but did you know about the 600-acre Freedom Farm Cooperative she started? This is one of many examples of Black farmers organizing for power and self-determination highlighted in Monica White's Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and the Black Freedom Movement. Monica and Page talk with Vivi Moreno, food justice organizer and urban farmer with Catatumbo Cooperative Farm and part of the Farmers for Chicago program hosted by Urban Growers Collective. ​Vivi helps us understand the long history of agricultural resistance and applies it to the ongoing struggles we still face today for healthy, sustainable, and self-determining communities.

Show Notes: Shalom and welcome back to Fruit of the Kingdom Podcast! I'm your host Monica White.  Today we are continuing our study of Priestly Garments: Clothed in the Kingdom of God Series.  The bible identifies criteria for wearing priestly garments as well as for serving God in the office of priest.  We began to identify criteria in the last episode.  Holiness is a standard and expectation God has for those he has chosen to serve him as priests; even the garments priests wear are considered holy garments unto the Lord, God Almighty.  I just want to point out, the strategy we will employ for meeting this criteria is not of our own doing-it's not by our strength, might, spirit, or intellect; rather, it is by the counsel of God through his word, the gift of faith exercised, help from Holy Spirit and the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross (tree).  God has commanded mankind to love.  God has commanded mankind to be holy as he is holy.  Both the command to love and the command to be holy are within our capacity to obey in spirit and truth by help of Holy Spirit.  We have Holy Spirit living inside of each one of us; he is our helper, counselor, teacher, guide, and comforter.  God says in his word via Luke 1:37 (KJV), “for with God, nothing shall be impossible.”  This is a promise for the believer to draw from in spirit and truth.  Jesus stated in Mark 9:23, “all things are possible to him that believeth.”  If we ask Holy Spirit to help us pursue holiness (while abiding in the in the righteousness of God), believing…we shall receive help in our pursuit.  In John 14:12-14 (NIV) Jesus states, “very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing and they will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father.  And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the son.  You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”  Ok, let us pray! Holy Spirit, we thank you for your presence, comfort, peace, instruction, and revelation.  Thank you that your righteousness goes ahead of us and your glory is our rear guard.  Thank you that your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.  Thank you Abba, in Jesus name, that we your people live and move in the blessings and promises you made to faithful Abraham and King David; for we are blessed in all things and all places and goodness and mercy follow us each and every day.  Thank you for helping us to rest in your love, to rest in your counsel. We are captivated by your beauty and your holiness.  Your peace is a melody to our soul and a light shining forth through our spirit.  We acknowledge your name; we acknowledge your word as sovereign and true.  Thank you in advance for your will be done and your kingdom come on earth as you have ordained in heaven in Jesus name, amen. To look for God's requirements and expectations regarding priestly garments, we will look at 1 Peter 2:5 (KJV) and Exodus 28:2-3 (NIV).  I explained in the previous episode though there are two different priesthoods (Levitical & Royal) described in the bible, both are under different covenants with God Almighty; it is in the context of spiritual law; which, is eternal that we will address the concept, principle, and application of priestly garments and the office of priest to God be the glory in Jesus name. 1 Peter 2:5 (KJV) states, “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”   Exodus 28:2-3 reads, “make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.  Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.”  The holy garments speak to or bear witness to the glory and splendor of God resting on Aaron serving as priest unto God.  In the same manner, in the natural realm-people make fashion statements with the clothes they wear; their clothes are designed to convey their personality and/or identity.  Hence, clothes have the potential to send a message and communicate to others with or without use of words. God wanted his holy priestly garments for Aaron to display his glory, splendor, and wisdom.   Alright, pertaining to priestly garments, we see now both the garments and the priest(s) are to be consecrated (made holy) prior to serving God as priest.  Just like there is a process to cultivating an intimate relationship with God Almighty, there's a process for salvation, holiness, consecration and being born again in God.  Let us start with the process of holiness (1 Peter 1:13-16)  1) “Prepare your minds for action” 2) “Be sober minded” strategy to employ is 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 3) ”Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ” * strategy to employ is found in 1 Corinthians 2:10, Romans 8:27, Deuteronomy 29:29, and Jeremiah 33:3 4) “obedience” *rooted in love, see 1 Corinthians 13:1; John 14:21 5) “children” *Matthew 18:3-4, Mark 10:15, Matthew 19:14, Luke 18:16 6) “walk by the Spirit” *cross reference Hebrews 4:12 & Galatians 5:16-17 7) “By the Spirit put to death the misdeeds of the body (flesh).” *Romans 8:12-17 In our next episode (in preparation for serving God as royal priests and wearing his priestly garments), we will discuss our pursuit for holiness in the context of consecration, sanctification, and being born again. Shalom. 

Did you know that “urban agriculture” is not new? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and registered dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Monica M. White, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Environmental Justice at the Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, in the Department of Community and Environmental Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. White is the author of the award-winning book, Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and the Black Freedom Movement. White reflects on African American farmers’ long connection to the soil - a tool for resilience and resistance. White discusses the power of cooperatives, and heroes in African American food and agriculture, including Fannie Lou Hamer, and George Washington Carver, who said: “there is probably no subject more important than the study of food.” White also describes her critical role as “scholar activist.” White’s presentation at the University of Michigan can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzhbIeutIjI&list=PLY-HA3-cbCGdC2dqjlZAv8cfOU6B-Noqw&index=9 Related website: www.monicamariewhite.com

On matters of African Americans and farming, many narratives have centered the ways in which enslavement, and an assumed progress “off the plantation” have contributed to the apathy or absence of black folks on the land.  In this episode we hear from black farmers and scholars who are challenging those narratives, instead centering resilience, survival and activism at the core of historical narratives around African Americans and agriculture.

Agriculture has often been seen as a site of oppression in Black history, but it is so much more than that. Dr. Monica White shares a different narrative of Black farmers, and agriculture, in the US—one of resistance, innovation, and collective liberation.

Today's guest is Dr. Monica M. White, assistant professor of environmental justice, urban agriculture and community food systems at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and the Black Freedom Movement published this month. On the show we talk about the history of farming in Black liberation and her favorite restaurants in Madison, Wisconsin. A Hungry Society is powered by Simplecast

In the last speech you heard, was of Thomas Sankara. In it he asserts that: “Our country produces enough food to feed us all. In fact, we can produce more than enough. But because of the lack of organization. We still need to beg for food aid. This type of assistance is counterproductive. And has kept us thinking we are only beggars who need aid….I am asked where is imperialism. I say, look at your plate. You see the corn, rice... Imperialism is right here” According to Thomas Mitchell, in From Reconstruction to Deconstruction: Undermining Black Landownership, Political Independence and Community Through Partition Sales of Tenancies in Common, the story of the federal government's failure to deliver “forty acres and a mule” to freed slaves after the Civil War has long been a part of African American folklore. This history has been highlighted in an opinion by a federal judge in a landmark settlement of the class action lawsuit filed by black farmers against the United States Department of Agriculture. The case is known as Pickford II. The original Pigford v. Glickman lawsuit, named after North Carolina farmer Timothy Pigford was filed against the USDA in 1997. The history of those African descendants who purchased land in states throughout the South during Reconstruction, however, remains largely unknown and uncelebrated. Research suggests that, in total, this group acquired approximately 15 million acres of land in the South in the 50 years following the Civil War. Further, unlike the large numbers of poor white men who were able to acquire land from the public domain under federal homestead laws in the late 1800s, African Americans who acquired land did so mostly by private market purchases, often under intentional and direct violence, limited access to credit, and overt discrimination. Furthermore, in relation to food security and insecurity issues, Margaret Marietta Ramírez in her article, The Elusive Inclusive: Black Food Geographies and Racialized Food Spaces, argues that “in recent years there has been a growing conversation amongst food scholars, activists and policymakers questioning the ability of community food projects to serve low-income communities of color (Alkon and Agyeman 2011; Allen 2010; Guthman 2008; Slocum 2006). Within these conversations, the issue of participation is often raised, framed as something that can be remedied by conducting “outreach” or building a more “inclusive” project that better engages local residents. However, it can be argued that these efforts for “inclusion” in community food projects will continue to struggle to build participation in communities of color if they do not shift the power structures that exist within the organization itself. Today, we will hear Dr. Monica White, who gave one of the keynote speeches at this year's BUGS Conference which was held in Durham North Carolina, Oct. 19-21, 2018. Dr. Monica M. White earned her Ph.D. from Western Michigan University in Sociology. She is currently an assistant professor of Environmental Justice at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a joint appointment in the Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and the Department of Community and Environmental Sociology. Her book, Freedom Farmers: Agricultural Resistance and the Black Freedom Movement, 1880-2010, was just released. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!
