Spencer D. Wood, Kansas State University. Black Farmers and Black Land Loss.

let justice roll: February 2012

http://letjusticeroll.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 20, 2012. No More, No More. On these pages and in thousands and thousands of other pages the stories have been told. To the white farmer goes the advantages, and especially to the large corporate farmer, and goodbye to the small family farm, and more so to the black-owned family farm. Here is Robeson's version:. Nights for me,. No more, no more. No more sleepless nights for me,. No more wonderin’ when for me,. No more, no more. No more wonderin’ when for me,. No more, no more. While my s...

let justice roll: April 2012

http://letjusticeroll.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 7, 2012. Shoun Hill, Photographer, Black Farmer Cause. I met Shoun Hill a couple of years ago. We were on the land at a function sponsored by the Black Farmers and Agriculturalists Association. We had music, food, furniture, t-shirts, and golf carts all around. The stage was Gary Grant's front porch. A marvelous occasion. Early on there was John Ficara, an incredible talent with his camera. Now there is Shoun Hill. Remember that name. Shoun Hill. Here is the link to his fund raising page.

let justice roll: Where do you sit and The Cross and the Lynching Tree

http://letjusticeroll.blogspot.com/2015/02/where-do-you-sit-cross-and-lynching-tree.html

Saturday, February 28, 2015. Where do you sit and The Cross and the Lynching Tree. I had a conversation with one of my grandsons after breakfast today. That is not unusual except for two things. One, he lives across the street, so we rarely have breakfast together. Second, we talked about a book I was reading by James Cone,. The Cross and the Lynching Tree. After that conversation, I remembered this post from days gone by. And by the way, I still tally who sits where in church. Sometimes the grandsons si...

let justice roll: Black Land Loss Summit: Howard University, February 20 and 21

http://letjusticeroll.blogspot.com/2015/02/black-land-loss-summit-howard.html

Thursday, February 12, 2015. Black Land Loss Summit: Howard University, February 20 and 21. Willie still farms on a place his grandfather purchased years ago. His modest single-wide sits beneath a beautiful oak tree whose limb stretches across the sandy loam road named for his deceased wife. His candor and gift of hospitality caught me off guard, as did his stories of how he almost lost his land. His story is deep with themes of struggle and resilience. The stories left me stunned. My name is written in ...

http://letjusticeroll.blogspot.com/2013/11/historical-wiley-college.html

Saturday, November 2, 2013. A while back my wife and I meandered along some new and old trails from New Boston down to southeast Texas. The scenery was wonderful, the food was great, and the conversations along the way were inspiring. We were especially interested in walking the campus of Wiley College. We had heard about the school for several years, but the Denzel Washington movie, The Greater Debaters,. You can hear more of her story here. Skillfully led the class and the presentations. The studen...

Saturday, June 22, 2013. Where has the time gone: Thinking About Then and Now and Points in Between. And so, on that day, I announced to the students and then later had to reiterate in a supervision setting to one who had not attended the original meeting that I was indeed leaving. It was a hard conversation, one of many between then and August. And its supporters are among our closest friends. Here is an incredible article that lines it all out. These are good friends. These people are my people&#46...

let justice roll: Moving but not going anywhere

http://letjusticeroll.blogspot.com/2008/06/moving-but-not-going-anywhere.html

Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Moving but not going anywhere. Twenty-four years is a long time to live in one place. For me, that's been Abilene, Abilene Christian University,. Department of Marriage and Family Therapy. Our church home, the Highland Church of Christ. And our private practice group, Big Country Family Therapy Associates. According to the writer of the book of Ecclesiastes, God is the author of change, and that seasons come and seasons go. No, there's no reason to leave here, but there's every re...
