Dear Producer,
I enjoyed watching your show on Black land loss and heir property issues on "BET Tonight" with Ed Gordon, January 22, 2002. I have been trying to keep up with what was happening to Black farmers. I had heard that they had won a $2.5 billion settlement. However, I have heard and read some things that make me question whether the farmers were treated fairly even with this lawsuit.
Your show on January 22, 2002 certainly set the stage for you to have other
guests on your show to expose the problems that Black farmers/ land owners are having in getting justice and saving their land. I would like to know more about what The Black Farmers and Agriculturists Association (BFAA) have to say about the lawsuit and Black farm/land owner issues in general.Thank you, again for airing the program. Hopefully, you will find this topic intriguing
enough to do other shows that address real "reparations" for African Americans in this country, namely land ownership and the stealing of the land by the US government.Sincerely,
