- Title
Black Farmers Still Losing Ground.
- Authors
PATTERSON, STEPHEN
- Abstract
The article discusses the $1.15 billion compensation payment from the U.S. Congress for African American farmers for discrimination in lending patterns and access to agricultural subsidy programs. It mentions that the claims originated from a lawsuit settlement on civil rights between farmers and the government in 1999. It notes that despite the payout, farmers are continuing to lose. It also emphasizes the decline in the number of farms operated by those farmers between 1920 and 2007.
