Dank City Grow Rooms Presents

A Black History Month Historical Time Capsule February 21, 2026

This Black History Month, Dank City Grow Rooms invites you to step into a living historical time capsule—a powerful journey honoring the African American pioneers who shaped agriculture, food innovation, and community resilience in the United States.

From the enslaved farmers whose agricultural knowledge sustained early America, to the innovators like George Washington Carver, Henry Blair, Frederick McKinley Jones, and countless unsung Black growers and inventors—African Americans have always been at the root of agricultural advancement. Their ingenuity shaped farming tools, improved crop production, preserved food access, and closed dangerous food gaps in historically Black communities.

Honoring the Past, Growing the Future

As we celebrate these trailblazers, Dank City Grow Rooms highlights how their legacy inspires a new movement—one that puts the power of fresh produce back into the hands of the people.
