Description

This powerful account chronicles how Black farmers confronted decades of discrimination within the U.S. Department of Agriculture and organized to demand justice. Through legal battles, political struggle, and grassroots perseverance, they secured the largest civil rights settlement ever awarded by the federal government. The story illuminates the lasting impact of land loss, institutional racism, and unequal access to agricultural resources while celebrating the courage and solidarity that fueled a historic victory. It is both a revealing work of American history and an urgent reminder that justice often requires determined, collective action.
