Stillman College Asst. Prof. of Music, Dr. Allison Upshaw,
discusses her "creative nonfiction" project, "reframing: Narratives
of African American Female Landowners in Alabama's Black Belt" that
captures more about Black women who own land than what appears in
records and produces their stories in a way that makes them fully
human. Links mentioned in the episode: Stillman College:
