A Church in Chicago Looks to the Farm for Justice

Two generations and 700 miles away from her grandparents’ farm in Mississippi, Juanita O’Neal sat in a parking lot beside the four lanes of West 95th Street here, selling peas and okra and peaches. She wore an apron embroidered with the image of a ripe tomato and the words, “Granny and Kids Garden Patch.”

Lovely article. Thanks, Dave 148. Nice to see farming being included in the healing process. And it sounds like this Chicago church is making a difference.
