Description

In this rare, yellowing photograph, former FAMU President Benjamin L. Perry, Jr. is seen as a young boy in fields with older relatives. While we cannot confirm if they were sharecroppers, Perry’s father was heavily involved in agriculture; when Perry was an undergrad, his father brought him a farm to operate (though this photo is before that time).
