Conquer the Soil

In 'Conquer the Soil,' Abra Lee explores the untold stories of Black Americans who have shaped the country's gardening and agricultural landscape.

The book delves into the history of Black horticulturists, floriculturists, and gardeners, from slavery to the Civil Rights era, highlighting figures like Wormley Hughes and David August Williston.

Lee's work aims to give credit to these pioneers and shed light on their significant contributions.
