Black Nature Walk at the Arb

Wed, Oct 16 2024 - Wed, Jan 1 2025

This semester, a Black Nature Walk will wind through Nichols Arboretum in the trails around the Peony garden. The walk is the creation of a group of students enrolled in a Black Ecologies course taught by Professor Bénédicte Boisseron from the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Black ecology is the study of Black people in relation to their environment. In 2022, poet and scholar Joshua Bennett curated an outdoor exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden featuring work by Black poets. Inspired by this, students are now creating a similar experience at Nichols Arboretum. They will showcase poems from Camille T. Dungy's anthology "Black Nature," along with a special "In Memoriam" poem by Marcellus Williams, a death row inmate executed in Missouri on September 24th, 2024.
