Sisters plant the seeds for a new generation of Black farmers: "We want people to reconnect"
Sisters Ashanti and Kadeesha Williams come from a long line of American farmers who have stewarded land in the U.S. for over 100 years but have never owned it. Now, they're creating a community of farmers called "The Black Yard Farm Cooperative."
"Our relationship to the land started way before chattel slavery. Not just slaves but sharecroppers and the way that we have had access to land," Kadeesha told "CBS This Morning: Saturday" co-host Michelle Miller.
"The exploitative nature of access," Ashanti added.
