    Episode S3.8: It Means A Lot Ft. Dr. Jody Allen

    Dr. G and Marcellis check back into the studio with another dynamic conversation. Joining from the great state of Virginia and the College of William & Mary, Dr. Jody Allen engages with our co-host on the work being doing with the Lemon Project. Dr. Allen is Robert Francis Engs Director of The Lemon Project for William & Mary.  The Lemon Project builds bridges between William & Mary and African American communities through research, programming, and supporting students, faculty, and staff. As a leading institution within this field, Dr. Allen has had the charge of continuing the work of bridging community as well as facilitating healing. For more information on the Lemon Project. Click the Link below!  "The Project is named for Lemon, a man who was once enslaved by William & Mary. Though he was, legally, the property of the College, his relationship with the university was complex and often ambiguous. As an enslaved man in Virginia, he owned neither his work nor his own person. But he grew and sold produce to the College, and received a monetary Christmas bonus from the faculty at least once. Even from scant evidence, we can tell that Lemon was an actor on the stage of history, using ingenuity to help mitigate the circumstances of his enslavement" https://www.wm.edu/sites/lemonproject/about/goals-and-objectives/index.php
