New Strategy for Black Farmers and Black Americans

Charles E. Campbell, LSW, MSW, Innovator, Inventor and Entrepreneur

The Settlement is Done at last, but the work is just beginning. Black Farmers should be the Backbone of the Black Community. The Black Community must help them create a national processing, manufacturing and retail distribution network for the food grown by them. We also need to create a Peace Corp style Training Program for our young Black Farmers, Business Entrepreneurs and Engineers, that would allow them to spend 1 year working on Black Farms after graduating from College to improve to farming methodologies, food processing, develop new farm equipment, and new products from the crops and live stock grown by Black Farmers.

The settlement is over, let's compete in the marketplace and within the Black Communities where "Food Deserts Exist". I grew up on cotton and catfish farms in the Mississippi Delta, the son of the late Mr. Dudley Allen, Farm Laborer. I can be reached atwbsbpd88@hotmail.com if any Black Farmers, Black Colleges and University Graduates, Black Graduates for White Colleges and Universities or Administrators are interested in implementing this concept nationally. Racism has scared so many for life, but if you believe in self-empowerment and the will of our ancestors, then let's "Put In Work" to ensure their sacrifices will forever be remembered.
