Winnie grew up as a poor northern girl who married into a well-to-do Southern family and started raising a family in the early 1960's.  Before becoming a Baha'i, she was involved in promoting racial justice in her own small way.  After becoming a Baha'i, her vision broadened, and she and her husband moved to Barbados and lived there for 12 years.   Ironically it was her husband who studied agriculture in college, but it was Winnie that became the self-taught agriculturalist helping the agricultural efforts in the Caribean islands as well as in the States.  She recently published a book,  href="https://www.bahaibookstore.com/Food-Farmer-and-Community-P10366.aspx" target="_blank""Food, Farmer and Community: Agriculture and the Reconstruction of the World".  She explains how agriculture is fundamental to a stable society.Song List:1. Toward The Sun -  Amy Stephen Haghighi 2. Tree of Peace - by Jacqueline Odess-Gillett
