The Soul Soil Initiative is an outdoor concert series of African-American music on African-American owned farmland, bringing awareness to and developing robust program support for two of the hardest hit industries during the pandemic arts/culture and agriculture. Photos, videos, and live-streamed events will be compiled to develop an agri-tourism campaign for the farmers.
