African American Farmers Still Not Paid $1 Billion For Past Discrimination Settlement

CNN has an interesting post regarding the Pigford Case which established a longstanding pattern of discrimination at the U.S. Agriculture Department against African-American farmers who had applied for farm loans and support from federal programs.

The farmers settled the case with the government, but Congress has not come up with the money to pay the African Americans for experiencing racial discrimination.
