In the early \u201990s a group of Puerto Rican women in a \nLatino neighborhood in North Philadelphia decided to get together and do\n something for themselves and their neighborhood. They were tired of the\n drug dealings, abandoned houses, and vacant lots. At first, the women \nwould get together to cook and sew, to chat about their families. They \nthen started cleaning the abandoned lots and creating community gardens.\n They called themselves Grupo Motivos. In the film, Iris Brown tells us a\n story about her light-skinned granddaughter Ariel, who would only play \nwith white dolls. Once when Iris made her a black doll, she refused to \nplay with it. Iris then explained to her that being African was part of \ntheir culture. Incidents like this led Iris Brown and the women of Grupo\n Motivos to envision a new garden that would celebrate African culture \nand bring together the Latino and African American residents of the \nneighborhood. <\/p>\n<p>Through music, poetry, food, and dance, the garden celebrates African\n roots and African heritage in Puerto Rico, the U.S. and Africa. We hear\n stories of migration, color prejudice, and reclaiming heritage. By \nsharing these stories, the film builds bridges across generations and \nacross cultures.<\/p><\/div><\/div><p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/371954624 A film by Anula Shetty and Michael Kuetemeyer Created in collaboration with Scribe Video Center and MiND TV, Villa Africana Colob\u00f3, African Garden is a documentary about the creation [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-season-6-2003-2009","category-termite-timeline"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4585"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5164,"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4585\/revisions\/5164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/termite.org\/mound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
