Black Farmers in America

Black Farmer Plowing Field

Patricia Stansbury returns to guest-host Spirit in Action for the third time, with this episode adapted from her program, Groundswell, originally recorded for WRIR, Richmond Independent Radio. In late June, Patricia visited John Boyd and Kara Brewer Boyd on their farm, Let's Get Growing, in Boydton, Virginia. In this episode, she talks with Kara about the discrimination faced by Black farmers and other farmers of color. Kara explains the disparities in treatment by banks and federal agencies clearly and factually, and states it without rancor. This episode was recorded in a pole shed with a tin roof and a red pickup truck on Let's Get Growing Farm in Boydton Virginia, and produced at Epic Gardens in Bon Air, Virginia. It has been edited for time.
