EJC Book Discussion
Soil, The Story of a Black Mother's Garden

Wednesday, April 8
7:00 p.m. | Witherspoon Parlor

Join the Environmental Justice Committee for a thoughtful discussion of Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden by Camille T. Dungy. Part memoir, part cultural history, and part ecological meditation, this powerful book invites readers to consider how tending the earth can also nurture resilience, identity, and community. Dungy’s reflections on creating a garden as a Black woman in America open a broader conversation about belonging, environmental stewardship, and the stories landscapes carry. Together, we’ll explore how gardens become places of healing, resistance, and hope—and what her insights mean for our own commitments to justice and creation care. All are welcome to this rich, reflective conversation about soil, story, and the sacred work of cultivating life.
