- Description:
- Clarence Jordan works in the fields of Koinonia Farm. By 1969 the farm had expanded to more than 1,400 acres, and Jordan, along with new partner Millard Fuller, began to construct low-cost housing on the land. The Koinonia housing villages were the precursor to Habitat for Humanity, which Fuller left the farm to establish in 1976.
Photograph of Clarence Jordan working in the fields of Koinonia Farm. He drives a combine, and the farm buildings are visible behind him. He wears a pith helmet. Attempting to live out the principles of pacifism, simplicity, and racial integration, a pair of white Baptist ministers, Martin England and Clarence Jordan, established Koinonia Farm on 400 acres in rural Sumter County, Georgia in 1942. - Metadata URL:
