For those of you who read the words on this page, I'd like to thank you and point you to an opportunity to make an additional contribution to justice in the world.
Since 1994 my fingers and soul have been in the black farmer world. Some of those stories are told over at this site. The stories and those posts mean a lot to me. Located within them is one particular farmer and family story. You can locate that one here. If that doesn't work, go to November 17, 2007 and a story will unfold there.
The latest chapters of the story are told here. The short verse is that the USDA/DOJ settled their discrimination charges with this family on more than one occasion. And, on more than one occasion, the feds finagled their way out of it. In the meantime, the living children of their deceased parents are continuing to fight for the land. That is an onerous task. It requires time, energy, and money.
They have one last chance to gain justice under the law. By going through an administrative route, they hope against hope to settle their parents' case. Though it has been settled, the power resides in the hands of the bureaucracy. That bureaucracy is powerful and has unlimited resources.
So, please follow the story here, on my FB page, and on the gofundme page.
Please also contribute whatever amount you can to the cause of justice. This route requires funds for travel, filing fees, and anything and everything related to dealing with USDA/DOJ in Washington, DC.
We long for that day when we can proclaim, "Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Justice has arrived! Glory!"
Thanks for your consideration. It means a lot to the Grant family and to Charla and me.
