Join us live on Tuesday, September 9 at 7 PM ET for a moving conversation with award-winning journalist and author Lonnae O’Neal, as she shares the deeply personal and historical journey behind her new memoir Bibb Country: Unearthing My Family Secrets of Land, Legacy, and Lettuce.
What began with planting Bibb lettuce seeds in her backyard led Lonnae on a five-year journey through generations of her family’s past—revealing ties to the Kentucky Bibb family, a complicated legacy of enslavement, emancipation, and inheritance, and a powerful connection between food, freedom, and identity.
Moderated by Dwayne Bray, Vice President & Head of Storytelling, Andscape, this session explores how uncovering our roots can transform the stories we tell—about ourselves, our families, and our nation.
As part of our countdown to the 2025 March On! Festival (September 15–21), this session invites you to discover the joy, brilliance, and legacy of one of history’s unsung icons.
