EDIBLE MOUNTAIN — The Secret Herbalism Of The Enslaved African Americans

When an African was captured to be sold into slavery in the United States, they were aggressively stripped of their culture. They were forced to speak English sometimes with horrible techniques to keep them from speaking their own language. There were countless atrocities. If an enslaved woman was caught using herbs, it was punishable by death. Yet the traditions were kept in secret and are still used today. 🌿🍃
