Whistleblower's! Where is the NAACP when it really counts?

Hosted by Marti Oakley

Whistleblower's is presented in coordination with Marcel Reid and the Whistleblowers Summit which takes place in Washington D.C. in July.

Our Guests:

Lawrence Lucas and Ron Cotton join the show to discuss the absence of the NAACP in regards to the ongoing struggles of black and other minority farmers and the USDA.  Ron Cotton is the current president of the Coalition of Minority Emplyees.  Lawrence Lucas is past president Emeritas. 

We will be discussing the recent press release "Black Farmers Appalled by actions of NAACP"

I personally noted that not one of the icons of civil rights, including NAACP bothered to show up July 8, 2016 when the black farmers protested the USDA ongoing discriminatory practices in front of the Supreme Court.  In fact, I could not get one chapter to respond to an email asking if they would be present.  And, not one representative from Black's in Government showed up either.  Imagine that!
