The Biden administration has doled out more than $2bn in direct payments for Black and other minority farmers discriminated against by the US Department of Agriculture, the president announced Wednesday.
More than 23,000 farmers were approved for payments ranging from $10,000 to $500,000, according to the USDA. Another 20,000 who planned to start a farm but did not receive a USDA loan received between $3,500 and $6,000.
Most payments went to farmers in Mississippi and Alabama.
USDA secretary, Tom Vilsack, told reporters that the aid “is not compensation for anyone’s loss or the pain endured, but it is an acknowledgment by the department”.

While we bask in the sun of the dog days of summer
when you feel cooling down is an absolute must
continue to dance, and celebrate your robust life
you are a fiery-spirited child, born in August.

Former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sparked controversy when he claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has not always identified as Black during an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention on Wednesday. Referring to Harris, who has Indian and Jamaican heritage, Trump asked: “Is she Indian or is she Black?”
