Publisher’s Note: In 2021, this website made a deliberate attempt to get closer the Black Farmer movement and educate our staff and the people who visit this website on the plight of the Black farmers. Personally speaking, this has been an emotional roller coaster. I’ve felt sad, disgusted, angry, perplexed, baffled and hurt. Are any of those words and feelings positive? The answer is NO! I can only imagine how Black farmers and their families and supporters feel. If you are new to this issue, or thought that the USDA had already “done the right thing,” scroll down and watch the video below. “I’m Just a Layman in Pursuit of Justice,” is a documentary that chronicles the injustices of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, also known as ‘the last plantation,’ and the lived experiences of Black farmers who chose to fight against discrimination.
This website is committed to sharing as much information as we can in the pursuit of justice for Black farmers. We have a section on the site dedicated to the sharing information on the plight of the Black Farmers and we sponsor the website JusticeForBlackFarmers.com.
