  Consortium</a></p>\n<p>In&nbsp\;<em>When Trees Testify: Science\, Wisdom\
 , History\, and America&rsquo\;s Black Botanical Legacy&nbsp\;</em>award-w
 inning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees
 \, as well as the cotton shrub\, are intertwined with Black history and cu
 lture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped Americ
 a since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows\, trees are material witne
 sses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. Combining th
 e wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany\,
  Montgomery talks to majestic trees\, and in this unique and compelling na
 rrative\, they answer.</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>Beronda L. Montg
