In this Aware Profile, host Dee Dee Sharp's guest is the award winning filmmaker and Ohio State University professor/administrator Charlene Gilbert. Their interview focuses on Professor Gilbert's film about African American farmers entitled "Homecoming...Sometimes I Am Haunted By Memories of Red Dirt and Clay", which aired nationally on PBS. In 1920, nearly one million black farmers were working across the United States. By the end of the century, that number had declined to less than 18,000. While those figures are similar to the decline of farming nationwide, the documentary ?Homecoming? highlights the factors that led to the decline of black farms and sheds a spotlight on institutionalized racism that stripped many African Americans of their farm land. Sequences from the film are featured in the program.
