Hello beloved Richmond community and allies ❤️ sharing two books that helped the Purple Tree Collard story and political framework. Lets continue to learn together, heal together, and participate in actions to transform the systems that shape our housing, food, and community safety.

Lets learn from our past, organize in the present, and be bold enough to imagine a future that is not rooted in racist values.

This book is life changing, its a must read!

As someone who grew up in Richmond, it was really eye opening to learn about the past. We don't learn this information in school, and its so important in understanding our current situation. To Place Our Deeds is informing the storytelling circles and the Richmond Purple Tree Collard book.

Check it out!
