There will be a cavalcade of concerned citizens going to Rally Support
for the Black Farmers of this Country. If you can make it out please do.
This is one of the critical issues of our time that has continually been
suppressed by the Mainstream Corporate Media. Please Read below for details:
Farmers from Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and elsewhere in the South
will be coming to Washington next week to shine a spotlight on the
refusal of the Senate to approve $1.25 billion in funding for the Black
farmers' anti-discrimination lawsuit against the USDA, funds promised in
February by the Obama administration and passed by the House in May.
Black farmers have been denied loans and participation in other
government programs for decades by the USDA and many have lost their
land and been forced out of farming as a result. They won a class-action
lawsuit in 1999 (Pigford v. Glickman) upholding their claims of
discrimination. Today, they are fighting for additional funds in order
to compensate thousands of farmers who were unjustly excluded from the
first settlement.
Supporting the Black Farmers!
