We Care for the Land: Changing Race Relations on Family Farms in Todd County, Kentucky

Faculty Sponsor: Keith Brown

Through interviews, photography and archival research, Sarah documented the complex and evolving relationships among white farm owners, black farm workers, and Latino migrant workers in southern Kentucky. The result will be a multimedia documentary that will combine personal narratives with historical research to explore the ways the community has experienced dramatic demographic, cultural, and agricultural changes.

Sarah won the 2010 Casey Shearer Memorial Award for Excellence in Creative Nonfiction.
