Bountiful red acres : two farms, two families, and a year on the land / Eileen Heyes ; illustrations by Dare Coulter.

Two farms, two families, and a year on the land (other title)
Heyes, Eileen, (author.). Coulter, Dare, (illustrator.). North Carolina. African American Heritage Commission, (contributor.). North Carolina. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. (Added Author). North Carolina. Office of Archives and History, (contributor.).

Summary:

Using a blend of storytelling, facts and infographics, Eileen Heyes creates a snapshot of farm life in the Piedmont region of North Carolina during the late 1800s. The lives of neighboring families-one Black and one White-moves from season to season through the course of a year, in sometimes surprising ways. Bountiful Red Acres also cites the inequalities built into American life and shows how African Americans, who worked just as long and hard, received less compensation for the same amount of effort. Heyes and artist Dare Coulter offer a vibrant look at neighbors caring for each other and working together to force a living out of the red clay soil that is currently Horne Creek Farm State Historical Site.
