1984 Press Photo Legertha Wheeler & Fannie Glass outside Wheeler's home, Cruger

Legertha Wheeler, left, and Fannie Glass outside of Wheeler's Cruger, Miss., home. - It's after a rainfall, when the earth smells rich and damp and flavorful, that Fannie Glass says she most misses having some dirt to eat. "It just always tasted so good to me," says Glass, a black woman who now eschews a practice that she acquired as a young girl from her mother. "When it's good and dug from the right place, dirt has a fine sour taste."
