Conceptualized, designed, and planted the Timuel D. Black Edible Arts Garden at the 5710 S. Woodlawn Building on the University of Chicago campus, 2010. The garden, the first permanent edible plants garden on campus, features the first “Land Acknowledgement” plaque on campus, recognizing the claims of Native Americans to the Chicago area and reflecting a collaboration with Chicago’s American Indian Center. The garden was one of the projects of the Partnering for a Sustainable Chicago Initiative, which won the 2009 Champion of Sustainability in Communities award from the Sustainable Endowments Institute. This project is now proceeding in collaboration with the UChicago Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture, the Center for Identity and Inclusion, and the Dept. of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity.
