Black farmer in SC wants new land to be 'a place to heal'

LUGOFF, S.C. (AP) — Sadia Pollard’s father has a memory. It’s the 1980s and Pollard’s father, a young man then, drives by his grandparents’ home and farm in the Chesapeake Bay area. The day is hot. He sees his grandmother bent over and digging in the dirt, maybe pulling weeds or taking a vegetable from the ground. He’s embarrassed that his grandmother is working the farm, Pollard said. He thought farming “wasn’t respectable” at the time, said Pollard, who uses nonbinary pronouns.
