Being a Farmer Ain't Ever Easy...especially when you're black
| CW Mallory Freedom Acres Farm |
|
|
In 1919, Black farmland ownership peaked at 16 to 19 million acres, which was about 14% of total agricultural land. A century later, 90% of that land has been lost. Now, black farmers account for less than 2%. Read more.
I came across this story of a black cattle rancher and farmer in rural Colorado and I just can't shake it. CW Mallory, and his wife, Nicole knew they were taking a risk being black in this conservative part of the state. Things were going well, until they weren't. Now they are being terrorized for being who they are ... kind people, cattle ranchers, farmers, and black. Their white neighborhoods don't want them there. Their animals are being poisoned, their lives are being terrorized, their land is in jeopardy and the authorities are arresting them. It's absolutely insane and so very wrong.
