Jack Dappa Blues Podcast

On this episode, I speak with James Bunch (Peetie Wheatstraws Grand Nephew) and his son - n - law about Bunch's agriculture initiative "Hip Hop Farmers." James, born July 1957 in a little place called cotton plant Arkansas, grew up on a farm picking cotton and turned his agricultural experience into a successful career. Farming and agriculture is a huge staple of African American heritage, tradition and folklore, Bunch is working to reconnect our youth and adults to an industry that would generate economies, jobs, healthy foods as well as bringing generations and traditional music together. Their mission is: “Setting a new standard in outreach by utilizing 21st-century technologies and social media targeting underserved inner-city and rural communities". http://www.Twitter.com/HipHopFarmers https://www.facebook.com/HipHopFarmers Contact  (901) 315-6008 bunchology@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/africanamericanfolklorist/message Support this podcast: htt
