Come As You Are

I teach in rural Johnston County. And when I look out at my classroom, I see kids whose great-grandparents farmed this land — and kids whose parents crossed an international border to get here. Families who've been in these communities for two hundred years, sitting next to families who arrived within the last twenty.Nobody has really sat down and told that story out loud.So today we're going to talk about chickens. What they became. Who came because of them. And who was already here when they arrived.#immigration #chicken #agriculture
