“I certainly asked to be a part of it,” says John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, which represents tens of thousands of Black farmers.
The longtime activist and farmer, who has repeatedly tried to advocate on behalf of Black farmers with the Department of Agriculture and the White House, tells theGrio he has heard “nothing from this administration.”
He wasn’t just one farmer, he is the President of the Nat’l Black Farmers Association.
The Grio is a digital news platform focused on stories and events that impact the African American community, providing news articles, video content, and a streaming service. It was founded in 2009 and has become a significant source of news and entertainment for African Americans.
