Leah Penniman already teaches people how to farm.

She isco-director and farm manager at Soul Fire Farm, a community farm in New York state that fights racism and injustice in the food system.

利亚·佩尼曼已经开始教人们如何种地。

她是纽约州一家社区农场Soul Fire farm的联合主管和农场经理，该农场的主要任务是打击食品系统中的种族主义和不公正现象。

She says her farm's mantra is "to free ourselves, we must free ourselves," which comes out of the teachings of civil rights activist and leader Fannie Lou Hamer.

Hamer turned toagriculture in the late 1960s, launching the Freedom Farm Cooperative, buying land for black farmers to own and farm collectively.

她说，她的农场的口号是解放我们自己，我们必须解放我们自己”，这出自民权活动人士和领导人范妮·卢·哈默的教导。

哈默尔在20世纪60年代末转向农业，成立了自由农场合作社，为黑人农民购买土地，供他们集体拥有和耕种。

"We can't fundamentally have freedom and autonomy and dignity and community power without some measure of control of our food systems," Penniman said.

"I think this gardening interest arises from a visceral understanding of that truth.

"佩尼曼说:如果对我们的食品系统没有一定程度的控制，我们就不可能从根本上拥有自由、自主、尊严和社区权力。
