Please join us live as, as former USDA employees, and Black farmers. Who have been addressing the failures of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), civil rights process and administration for decades.

We will have a year end recap of events in 2023 USDA Black Farmers. Some of the recaps will include:

Dr. Cornel West, Independent Candidate for President, taking on the issue of systemic racism at the US Department of Agriculture...especially, Black farmers. He's been invited to join us on this month's podcast.

Ramsess, artist and political satire cartoonist, from California. We will discuss his artwork addressing the present struggle of Black farmers, in view of historic racism at the USDA. 

 We will have Black Farmers & former USDA employees who have struggled and suffered...Bernice Atchinson, Michael Stovall, Rev. Robert Binion, Lesa Donnelly, Ronald Cotton, Denice Rice, Dr. Waymon Hinson and others.

We will name individuals, and organizations that have benefited (taking blood money from Tom Vilsack) from the pain and suffering of Black farmers and USDA employees. We will discuss fixes that can correct injustices at the USDA.,such as the Office of Civil Rights, the County Committee system/process and USDA Office of General Counsel abuses.  The USDA needs to be put into receivership. Some of the demonstrators at the White House on March 1 will describe the experience and results stemming from the one day event, which included a meeting with Senator's Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren.

We will announce the upcoming town hall "Black Farmers, The Real Story", on Sat. Dec. 9th, at the Georgia Freight Depot, in Atlanta, sponsored by Georgia Black Republican Council.
