The Black /Land Project identifies and amplifies conversations happening inside black communities about the relationship between black people, land, and place in order to share their powerful traditions of resourcefulness, resilience and regeneration.

Black/Land interviews African-Americans, Afro-Latinos, West Indians, African immigrants and other black people about their relationship to land and place. Using a grounded theory approach, we analyze these narratives to understand and support black self-definition of their relationships of care to the environment. We partner with community-based groups doing narrative based organizing.
