Decades after the original filing of their class action discrimination lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and years after execution of the Consolidated Case Settlement Agreement , African-American farmers continue to get lesser treatment from the federal court, the USDA, class counsel, as well as the settlement process --- as this tragic, long-running discrimination saga draws to a close. For example ;
The undistributed leftover settlement funds allegedly amounted to approximately $12 million, according to federal judge-appointed class counsel. This same class counsel announced that these leftover funds would be placed in a so-called "Cy Pres Fund" [Charity Fund] and " will be made available to eligible tax-exempt nonprofit organizations serving African-American farmers and/or ranchers according to the intent of the Consolidated Case Settlement Agreement."
The bottom-line is that these so-called "leftover settlement funds" will not be going to the already-underpaid victims in this class action litigation : the Black Farmers.
