The word “radical” is charged with many meanings. In the Southern plantocracy during the Jim Crow era, African American farmers who sought economic and political sovereignty through landownership found themselves treated as radicals, for better or worse. How they carved space for themselves and their communities, survived, and even thrived, is the heart of this talk.
Dr. Goldmon is a Shelby Cullom Davis Center Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University and an incoming Assistant Professor in History at University of Oregon. She earned her Ph.D. in History from Emory University and an MA and BA from the University of Arkansas.
