Book
When trees testify : science, wisdom, history, and America's Black botanical legacy / Beronda L. Montgomery.
In 'When Trees Testify', award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees -- as well as the cotton shrub -- are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants.
