We have on the show this week:

Mrs. Carolyn Jones, Chief Executive Officer of the Minority Farmers Alliance. A community based non-profit organization established by Black farmers. She and her husband are also farmers since 1976. Only last week she along with many others Black farmers celebrated 10 years of hard work, at the Alcorn State Farmers Conference Center, Alcorn University, in Mississippi.

Frank Taylor, Black farmer, along with his wife have been farming on land given to the family since 1877. Their farm is in Louisville, Mississippi. He is and has been very active in the Black farmer movement....a movement for justice for many years. You will hear a lot from him tonight.

Also, will have Ramsess who just recently focused on Secretary Tom Vilsack and his treatment of Black farmers. He is a self-taught artist and educator who works in multiple mediums, including textiles, painting, mosaic, illustration, and stained glass. He first exhibited his portraits in 1979 and began quilting in 2006. He contributed political cartoons and illustrations to the Los Angeles Times from 1976 to 1994. Ramsess is a member of the Afro-American Quilters of Los Angeles, a partner of the Alliance for California Traditional Arts. He has developed a series of political illustrations, depicting the pain and suffer that has been inflicted on Black farmers for decades.....the government stealing their land.

You will hear from him and why he has developed this series, known as "political satire".
