~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whistleblowers! The USDA Hour, is brought to you in coordination with Marcel Reid and the annual Whistleblowers! Summit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Join Lawrence and Marti this evening as they host a roundtable discussion concerning the failure of most candidates to fairly address the issues of discrimination against Black farmers that has gone on for decades within the USDA. At issue is the Biden campaign lack of systemic solution or approach to changing and correcting the long standing, well documented abuses that have transpired.

Joining the show will be Michael Stoval, Julian Hishaw and Waymon Hinson.

Lawrence Lucas

Mr. Lucas was the former President of the USDA Coalition of Minority Employees, beginning in 1994. His career as a government employee began as a political appointee during the Carter Administration. He retired after 32 years of service.

Michael Stoval

Joining him will be Michael Stoval of Alabama who has been instrumental in bringing attention to the institutional failures of the USDA and DOJ. Mr Stovel will talk about the continuing neglect and worsening of agency failures within the USDA that has worsened over the years under many administrations, including the former Obama and now current, Trump administration.

Waymon Hinson has earned degrees in theology and psychology is licensed as a psychologist and marriage and family therapist in Texas. His history with the Black farmer cause extends back to 1994 when he began to consult with farmers and their legal counsel. Mr. Hinson will also be discussing the release of the new documentary on Black farmers.

Julian Hishaw

In 2012, six years after she graduated, Hishaw launched Family Agriculture Resource Management Services (FARMS), an organization that helps Black farmers, and all farmers from historically disadvantaged groups, in Southeastern states retain ownership of their land. Now, she spends her days visiting farmers in the Southeast who face losing their property and assets due to mounting debt.

I’m not siding with wearing a mask or not wearing a mask, but we who live in the West have had fire smoke for a few months or longer and it is still in California right now on Sept. 26, 2020. How do we fare going outside? Should we wear a mask or not? We have a huge problem. Because of negligent forestry mismanagement and the stopping of the the thinning of trees since the late 1990’s we have a mega smoke problem every year. Yet, many persons have various health conditions when it comes to breathing fire smoke. If it is not respiratory problems or allergies it is cancer. Fire smoke, documented by the University of Cincinnati causes 21 different kinds of cancer including non-hodgkin’s lymphoma while doctors and professors went through 10,000 documents of fire fighters. So what can the common people do who have jobs outside and not indoors? Breath all of that in? America, we have a problem and especially so in California. We are not victims of “climate change” but of a purposeful environmental agenda, “let it burn” program that was ushered in years ago when Yellowstone National Park first burned to the ground.
