Re-broadcast of Interview with John Boyd on Tony Brown's Journal
PBS & PBS YOU stations June 17 - June 23

Dear Dr. Boyd:

 

Your interview on Tony Brown's Journal will re-broadcast nationwide on PBS & PBS YOU stations beginning June 17 through June 23. If making inquiries, PBS stations identify it as #2725 of the TBJ series. The program description is as follows:

 

#2725C2 – “BLACK FARMERS: A DYING CROP”                      (Airdates: 6/17 – 6/23)

Five years ago, a landmark $3-billion court settlement was reached between Black farmers and the U. S. Department of Agriculture to compensate Black growers for decades of unequal treatment.  Dr. John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, discusses the findings of a new investigation that reveals that almost 90 percent of the Black farmers in the settlement have been denied payment. 

 

 

Thank you very much for your cooperation,

Tony Brown
