X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us for a riveting conversation with a
 ward-winning biologist Beronda Montgomery as we discuss her book\, When Tr
 ees Testify: Science\, Wisdom\, History\, and America&rsquo\;s Black Botan
 ical Legacy.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The histories of trees in America are also the
  histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslave
 d African named Antoine\; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts fo
 r people trying to escape enslavement\; poplar trees are historically asso
 ciated with lynching\; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. T
 hese trees\, and others\, testify not only to the complexity of the Black 
 American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise tha
 t\, like Native American traditions\, predates the United States entirely.
 </p>\n<p>In When Trees Testify\, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. 
 Montgomery explores the ways seven trees\, as well as the cotton shrub\, a
 re intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge s
 urrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Mon
 tgomery shows\, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Afri
 cans and their descendants.</p>\n<p>Combining the wisdom of science and hi
 story with stories from her own path to botany\, Montgomery talks to majes
 tic trees\, and in this unique and compelling narrative\, they answer.</p>
