Guest Speaker: Julius Tillery
For five generations, Julius Tillery’s family has worked the land of northeastern North Carolina. Through Black Cotton, he asks us to look again at a familiar crop—to see beyond the commodity and consider the history, labor, beauty, and lives connected to cotton.
Join us as Julius shares his story and invites us into a conversation about cotton, land, family, and the future of farming.
