Quotes:
“If you follow the migration of food, you’re really talking about the migration also of people, of plants, of animals, of information.” - Stephen Satterfield
“Feeling like you have space in the world is a powerful thing.” - Stephen Satterfield
“So when I talk about the need for us to have pride in where we come from, it’s an act of love, but it’s also an act of taking back power.” - Stephen Satterfield
“People are holding these stories and it is our job to go find them and tell them and write about them.” - Latasha Morrison
“Our relationship to food, our relationship to this country, the relationship between Black people and white people foundationally is a relationship of exploitation of subjugation and racism. That’s a lot to overcome.” - Stephen Satterfield
“We have to understand how this all works together. And what is the end result? A wealth gap and a wealth disparity that is land-based, that is now bigger than it was even during the period of reconstruction. So we’ve gone backwards.” - Stephen Satterfield
“In the ways in which racism is systemic, repair needs to be systemic.” - Stephen Satterfield
