Schultz made these SOHP recordings in collaboration with Adrienne Petty for their NEH-funded project, Breaking New Ground: A History of African American Farm Owners Since the Civil War. Their collection within the SOHP includes more than 300 interviews with black farm owners and their descendants from Maryland to Oklahoma.
