Workshop on Trauma: Serving Our Community Plumas Rural Services A Short History of Black Cooperatives in America Feather River Food Co-op From mutual aid societies to independent fugitive communities and from farmer cooperatives to consumer co-ops, Professor Gordon Nembhard details how people work together in the face of racism and active sabotage to improve each others’ lives in tangible ways. Cooperation has proved a powerful tool against discrimination. In honor of the Black Lives Matter movement, we’ll survey a small part of the rich cooperative history that Gordon Nembhard chronicles. While African Americans have utilized cooperation since the first Africans arrived as indentured servants in the early 17th century, the first recorded cooperative efforts were mutual aid societies in the late 18th century. Both free and enslaved Black people pooled money to pay for things like burials, land, helping the sick and the orphaned, and even buying freedom for one another. Early forms of cooperation ranged from mutual insurance companies to buying clubs to collective farming. The Underground Railroad is a famous example of cooperative effort.
