...'Today, decades of #disinvestment have left #freetowns #vulnerable to #predatory #development, #land #theft and #industrialization. The Banners hoped to reverse those trends. Yet within weeks of creating their organization, their #purpose shifted dramatically. Instead of supporting other #Black #communities, the twins found themselves fighting for their own #hometown’s #survival. Wallace, population 1,240, was facing an #existential #threat in the form of the #proposed #construction of a gargantuan #grain-export #terminal, the latest in an onslaught of industrial #growth along the lower #Mississippi #River. The terminal would “drain us of all of our #resources and all of our #qualityoflife”, Joy said. “The overall goal is to run all of us out.” Across the #South, freetowns – also called Black-founded towns or #freedom #colonies – are fighting similar kinds of #encroachment. Helmed by Black men and women looking to escape #slavery and white #supremacy, freetowns #functioned as #autonomous communities, #producing their own #food and #governance and even providing relative #safety during the Jim Crow era. Now, many are in the #untenable position of having to #advocate for their right to have a #future. Often, this means #uncovering #lost #histories and #genealogies, seeking #protection through #historic #registries and battling #local #governments, #developers and #corporations in #court.

Did you know there are 60 local NWTF chapters, in Tennessee? 61 if you include the state chapter, according to NWTF.org. There are 95 counties in Tennessee. What's that mean? There are opportunities to grow conservation efforts statewide! How? By getting involved and creating a new chapter in areas that don't have one. We have some awesome Regional Directors working in Tennessee that can help! The link is to the Chapter Guide manual and has solid information on how to get started. https://lnkd.in/d_sGbv4M
