@berondam.bsky.socialWhen my Mama calls I answer, if at all possible. I rejoice in the days that she remembers exactly who I am and also the days that she needs a little reminder.

@arktimes.bsky.socialReposted by @berondam.bsky.socialLittle Rock native Beronda L. Montgomery heads to Six Bridges Book Festival later this month. Her latest book, “When Trees Testify,” combines “scientific expertise with memoir and family history to reveal the multifaceted connections of trees and plants to the Black American experience.”
@lindli.bsky.socialReposted by @berondam.bsky.socialThis has made me think again about the beautiful work of Beronda Montgomery, as well as the soil collections at the EJI Museum in Montgomery, AL--one of the most moving museum collections I've ever seen.

@tommurphe.bsky.socialReposted by @berondam.bsky.social"That plants, including trees, hold the transformed breath of decades of human life in their physical form positions them as powerful vessels of the present, even as they represent and testify to history and those from their past." - Beronda L. Montgomery
