Preserving and Maintaining Our Family Land
As a child, I had a great appreciation for the land my great maternal grandmother Emma Mead Harrell purchased in 1896 and 1902 in Amite, Louisiana. The land that has been in our family for seven generations. The land provided food, water, and a place where the Harrell family called home.
According to an article written and published by Spencer D.Wood and Jess Gilbert " Returning African American Farmers to the Land" today, there are only about 18,000 black farmers in the United States. Declining by 98 percent since 1920. Many of our family members and ancestors had land taken away from them by racial oppression, economic presssures, and finanical crisis.
Last week my special guest C.J. Holliday talked about the 837 acres of land her family own in Carroll , Mississippi. She stated that someone is trying to take their land from them. She also stated that her brother was beaten up over the land this year and other family members were even murdered.
Please join host Antoinette Harrell and her special guest C.J. Holiday as they continue this discussion from last Tuesday's night show.

Oklahoma Land Runs from a Native Perspective
Guest Sarah Adams Cornell (Choctaw) will talk about the Land Runs and why the Land Run Re-enactments are harmful to our Native American children.
Sarah has been making progress on her goal to stop Land Run Reenactments in Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS). She met with the principal of her kids' school who promised they would no longer do them. She has met with the director of Native American student services at the OKCPS and she was very supportive. The principal wants her to draft a one page informational sheet about the land runs and also include her daughters perspective of what it's like to be involved in a reenactment. The director and she will have a meeting with the administrator of elementary schools and the director of curriculum to speak with them and express why she wants it to change, present them with alternative curriculum to teach and offer native presentations for schools, as a fun activity.
Sarah is active in the Oklahoma City Choctaw Alliance and Idle No More Central Oklahoma. You can find her on facebook at www.facebook.com/sarah.adamscornell
