Reparations and the American Rescue Plan
b"When we talk about agriculture in the U.S. there is often an archetypical\\xa0 American farmer that comes to mind. Perhaps they\\u2019re in overalls, maybe a cowboy hat, but they\\u2019re almost always white. The white farmer trope has become a fixture in America\\u2019s invented agricultural past. However, American agriculture has long relied on\\xa0 the labor and expertise of Black people, while perpetually writing them out of history. \\n\\nProduced by our intern Tash Kimmell, this episode will explore the fraught history of Black agriculture in the US. From land grabbing, to shady USDA lending practices, to the government's most recent attempts at righting the wrongs of a racist past."
