Mrs. Ellen Byrd hosts environmental
science field trips for
Wilcox County's underserved
students to her farm,
established as the Black
Freedmen's Living Historical
Farm for Children, Inc.
Mrs. Byrd
not only runs the farm, raises funds for and hosts
the study sessions on the farm, but is VITT's vice-president
and Director of Alabama Historical Research and
Community Outreach. She and her work are both
inspiration and education to us in our
workshops, performances, and oral history gathering.
She is one of
VITT's cherished "living ancestors".
VOICES IN THE TREETOPS is proud to embrace
this program in its branches. We invite
donations to the on-going sustaining of Black
Freedmen's Living Historical Farm for Children, Inc.
