Refugees Grow Vegetables and Hope in Louisville, Kentucky
On an early autumn morning in Louisville, Kentucky, a white SUV pulls onto a small road that intersects two large plots of green space, much of it covered in thriving vegetables. A chain link fence encircles the seven acres, with the urban community of south Louisville sprawling on the other side. Four people exit the SUV and join a small group outside a shed full of gardening tools. Some of them are wearing pieces of traditional African garb, others are wearing blue jeans and a jacket, but all of them are smiling as they begin their day’s work.
