BLACK FARMERS ARE GOING BANKRUPT. SO I WENT TO THE PERSON WHO MAY KNOW THIS STORY BETTER THAN ANYONE.
JOHN BOYD.
THE GOVERNMENT SAYS DECADES OF DISCRIMINATION HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.
BUT WHEN I STARTED DIGGING THROUGH THE RECORDS, I FOUND SOMETHING THAT MADE ME STOP.
AS RECENTLY AS 2022, WHITE FARMERS WERE APPROVED FOR DIRECT USDA LOANS AT TWICE THE RATE OF BLACK FARMERS.
PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL BLACK FARMERS ASSOCIATION.
I TRAVELED TO HIS FARM TO ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION:
IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED…
WHY ARE BLACK FARMERS STILL LOSING THEIR LAND?
I’M ANGELA BROWN.
THIS IS ANGELA GETS ANSWERS.
AFTER NEARLY 20 YEARS IN MAGA AND MAINSTREAM NEWSROOMS, I’VE LEARNED SOMETHING:
THE MOST IMPORTANT STORIES AREN’T ALWAYS THE ONES MAKING HEADLINES.
SOMETIMES THEY’RE THE PEOPLE GETTING PUSHED ASIDE.
AND THAT’S WHAT I FOUND HERE.
