While more and more in the government and media slowly catch on to the fascinating story of Pigford fraud and corruption we’ve thoroughly documented here at BigGovernment, there’s one important group taking the charges we’ve made in this space very seriously: the National Black Farmers Association. The event is to take place February 15, 2011; we received the release today:
RSVP to Justice in Jeopardy Meeting *Limited Seating*Despite President Obama’s recent signature on landmark civil rights legislation, black farmers seeking justice for decades of discrimination still face significant hurdles. Confusion over the settlement and the claims process could leave thousands of black farmers out in the cold.
Dr. John W. Boyd, president and founder of the National Black Farmers Association, will explain how many black farmers missed their initial opportunity to have their cases heard, and how the current atmosphere could result in more of the same. In Boyd’s words, “a rapidly developing crisis threatens to sabotage black farmers’ last best hope.”
Boyd — who was present when President Obama signed the landmark Claims Resolution Act of 2010 in December — will also offer an update on how the settlement is moving ahead, including a look at the cases of individual farmers from across the country. The settlement is designed to remedy decades of discrimination by the US Dept of Agriculture.
