Celebrating Black Herbalists: Past, Present, & Future

African Americans have made significant contributions to American history, culture, and life in various areas, including agricultural technology, textiles, crafts, arts & sciences, human development, and plant medicine. Notable Black herbalists like Harriet Tubman, Ms. Emma Dupree, and George Washington Carver have made essential contributions to what is known as “Western Herbalism” on the North American continent.

Berkeley Herbal Center is thrilled to amplify Black herbal ancestors and their successors to foster a greater sense of gratitude, acknowledgment, and appreciation for their contributions. From body work to soul food to Black herbal education and more, this market is a great way to support Black entrepreneurs and self well being.

We extend our thanks to Shereel Washington, a beloved instructor at Berkeley Herbal Center, for helping to spearhead this effort, along with other Black herbalists for participating in this important day.
