In this powerful abbreviated version of our original two-part "Seeking Truth & Justice" Round Table, host Lawrence Lucas leads an urgent and eye-opening discussion on the ongoing plight of Black farmers in America — a struggle that spans decades of systemic discrimination, government neglect, and resilience in the face of injustice. Joined by an esteemed panel of researchers, advocates, and thought leaders Dr. Waymon Hinson, Robbie Hutchens, Prof. Jared Hutchins, Andrew White, Pamela Messal, C.J. Johnson, and Jacopo DeMarinis — this conversation explores the historical roots, legal battles, and human impact of the Black farmer crisis. Together, they shed light on the continued fight for equity, land justice, and accountability within the USDA and beyond. This round table builds on previous discussions that have exposed critical truths about race, power, and resistance — amplifying the voices of those who have fought tirelessly for fairness and reform. Topics Covered: • The history and legacy of USDA discrimination against Black farmers • Personal stories of struggle, perseverance, and faith • The role of research, journalism, and advocacy in the movement • Legal and policy barriers to true reparative justice • What must happen now to save Black-owned land and restore trust
