Ya See many of us brown skin folks came from people who were brought here to work the lands for the pale skin folks. Our people were not treated so good but, some saw how the land could grow a bunch of things. The food was good, and the flowers smelled and looked pretty. The bees agree and so they make sure everything gets the pollen it needs to grow so the foods can do the same for us!
Your Grandma loved growing anything she could and said if she were ever free, she would find some land of her own and she would make sure we had all we could eat! That is what she did when she found this land.
