Join Lawrence and Marti this evening as they host a roundtable discussion concerning the failure of most candidates to fairly address the issues of discrimination against Black farmers that has gone on for decades within the USDA. At issue is the Biden campaign lack of systemic solution or approach to changing and correcting the long standing, well documented abuses that have transpired.
