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.

Featuring:

  • Lonnae O’Neal: Author of Bibb County: Land, Legacy, and Lettuce
  • Dwayne Bray: Moderator
