THIS IS A PAST EVENT.
In the decades following R.J. ReynoldsÕs arrival in the town of Winston in 1874Ð75, the cultivation of tobacco in the Appalachian Piedmont underwent seismic changes, from small farming operations to multinational industrial corporations. Pete Daniel, retired curator at the SmithsonianÕs National Museum of American History, specializes in the history of the 20th-century South. He is a past president of both the Organization of American Historians and author of Toxic Drift: Pesticides and Health in the Post-World War II South; Lost Revolutions: The South in the 1950s; and Dispossession: Discrimination Against African American Farmers in the Age of Civil Rights. This event is co-sponsored by the ProvostÕs Fund for a Vibrant Campus, the Department of History, and the Art Department of Wake Forest University.
