Environmental studies + urban ag at University of San Francisco; The farm at Black Mountain College; seed libraries + food pantries
It’s cool to see seed libraries popping up in libraries, both public and academic, too.

Not to quibble, sorry, but Einstein never taught there. Lots of other luminaries, tho! 🌱

Big time congrats - you’re such an interdisciplinary inspiration

This would have been a great visual to include in your MA thesis! 😎

Also, while I like your source, it is a publicity mag of Rollins! But they get a lot correct. True story: the reason Rice called the church “obscene” was because the font of the church’s title was smaller than the font of the church’s DONORS! 🫢

Right on, Robert. My preferred account is Martin Duberman’s Black Mountain or, um, my The Farm at Black Mountain College. There was a loyalty pledge but it was never offered to Rice and the loyalty wasn’t to, say, America or capitalism but rather to Holt. The whole thing, it seems, was a purge.

Super interesting and provocative post! But for the record, no one was fired from Rollins for refusing to sign a loyalty oath. #blackmountaincollege

Indeed. Or better yet, to be *part* of that exceptional community.

What is the name of your uncle?

Actually, Creeley taught at BMC, he wasn’t a student there.
