Sen. Corey Booker authored a bill which attempts to redress harm done to black farmers by decades of being refused access to loans/services by the Department of Agriculture, loans which white farmers were routinely given. The bill is law, but has been held up by a coalition supporting white farmers alleging it is discriminatory to help black farmers. The article above highlights the legal assistance work one non-profit is doing in the meantime to help black farmers. @StillIRise1963
