Join Lawrence Lucas, LLoyd Wright an Waymon Hinson as they recap the the events, conversations and meetings that have transpired over the last few months regarding the Black Farmers and their battle with the USDA.  The USDA, long known for its discriminatory efforts against minority farmers, continues to discriminate and refuses to correct its actions.  Civil rights violations, land loss and irrepayable debt are just a few of the concerns of Black and other minority farmers.
