https://simplecast.com Black to Nature Welcome to Black to Nature, a podcast about the environment and identity and the many ways we engage ourselves and the natural world. I’m Professor Stefanie Dunning and I’ll be your host. Each episode, I’ll read an excerpt from my book, “Black to Nature: Pastoral Return and African American Culture” and bring a guest on the show to talk about the role that nature plays in helping us know and deepen into who we are. On this show, we’ll be talking about rural life, histories of environmentalism in the black community, and even spirituality--because the natural world is our first temple. Join me, for insightful, funny, and generative discussions about the intersection of being and nature. en Tue, 30 Nov 2021 15:33:55 +0000 Thu, 6 Mar 2025 21:22:57 +0000 https://black-to-nature.simplecast.com Black to Nature https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/d6ac18dc-4b24-431c-bb26-aac14b2358cf/d9e0e25d-e444-477d-ac22-5e804eade42e/3000x3000/my-post-5.jpg?aid=rss_feed https://black-to-nature.simplecast.com episodic Welcome to Black to Nature, a podcast about the environment and identity and the many ways we engage ourselves and the natural world.

Professor Roane offered a more correct description, so I am updating it here. He notes, "they dropped 1 C4 bomb procured by the PPD from the FBI and then let it burn for more than an hour."
