Why you can trust Investigate Midwest
Timothy Pigford sued the United states Department of Agriculture in 1997 because he believed black producers were being denied loans. Pigford’s case resulted in the largest civil rights settlement in the history of the United States. Yet, many black producers who joined the settlement have only recently received their portion of the settlement.
