The West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center’s newest exhibition, "The Black Farm Experience" explores the rich history of Black farmers in the region, highlighting their significant contributions and accomplishments.

The journey of African American farmers from the era of slavery through sharecropping and into land ownership showcases the immense challenges they faced and their enduring connection to the land. This exhibit aims to portray those trials, truths, and triumphs of Black individuals in the agriculture industry. Despite facing discrimination and unfair practices, many Black farmers have persevered, driven by their deep love and connection to the land.

"The Black Farm Experience" will be on display at the Delta Heritage Center, Brownsville TN,  through April 30, 2025. The exhibition is made possible through a USDA Rural Development grant. For more information and hours, call the Center at 731-779-9000.
