DESCRIPTION:When Trees Testify: Reclaiming America’s Black Botanical Leg
 acy with Beronda MontgomeryAward-Winning Plant Biologist and AuthorTuesday
 \, August 25th 2026 at 1:00 PM CDTThe histories of trees in America are al
 so the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an e
 nslaved African named Antoine\; sycamore trees were both havens and signpo
 sts for people trying to escape enslavement\; poplar trees are historicall
 y associated with lynching\; and willow bark has offered the gift of medic
 ine. These trees\, and others\, testify not only to the complexity of the 
 Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical experti
 se that\, like Native American traditions\, predates the United States ent
 irely.In When Trees Testify\, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Mo
 ntgomery explores the ways seven trees\, as well as the cotton shrub\, are
  intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge sur
 rounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montg
 omery shows\, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africa
 ns and their descendants.Combining the wisdom of science and history with 
 stories from her own path to botany\, Montgomery talks to majestic trees\,
  and in this unique and compelling narrative\, they answer.
