dc.description.abstractThe chapter focuses on a broad range of issues and topics to examine how the 1890 land-grant institutions addressed issues that Black families faced living in rural and agricultural America. Discussions focus on presidential leadership and the president’s operating philosophies concerning the mission of Black land-grants, their reactions to and assessment of certain components of the New Deal and related subsequential federal farm programs, educational outreach that addressed farm, family, and community needs, partnerships with government agencies and organizations, and Black land-grants’ responses to the Black farmers’ lawsuit against the USDA.
