Rep. Leslie Love, from the 10th
District, offered the following invocation:
“In the African tradition, the Djembe
(or drum) has deep symbolic and historical meaning and is often used in scared
and celebratory ceremonies. The drum is like the heartbeat. It is our origin
language; the proclamation of life. So today, we pray—not with words—but
through the universal sound of life—the heartbeat. The rhythmic pulse of
connectivity that bonds us as beings; the vibrational pull that connects us to
the cradle of humanity; to the Divine, our holy creator God. We bow our head
and rest our eyes to connect to the peace that we seek within and the love that
surrounds us throughout. Let us pray. (Drummers play).”

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Cynthia Johnson, Love, Brixie, Hoadley, Garza, Kuppa, Sowerby and
Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 233.
A resolution to declare February
23-28, 2020, as Black Farmers Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Since the antebellum period,
black farmers in Michigan have fought continuously to acquire
self-determination of their lives, and that of their families, through the
attainment, retention and cultivation of farmland; and
Whereas, By 1920, almost one million,
or 14.3%, of the nation’s farmers were black and they owned nearly 16 million
acres of farmland; and
Whereas, By 1997, the number of the
nation’s black farmers hit an all-time low when the census revealed that only
18,541 were left and they comprised only 1% of the total number of farmers in
the country; and
Whereas, The huge number of economic
and racially-discriminatory obstacles placed in their paths, including the
untimely delivery of operating loans, insufficient information about program
availability, and racist treatment in many United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) offices, has resulted in the declination of their numbers at
a rate nearly three times that of white farmers and the loss of more than 50%
of black-owned farmland since 1910; and
Whereas, A collaborative, grassroots
efforts of black farmers, their families, legal teams, and social justice
organizations finally sued the USDA for their racially discriminatory policies
and practices, and enjoyed victory in 1997 when they received $__ billion in
damages after winning the class-action lawsuit Timothy Pigford et al., v Dan Glickman, resulting in what was then
the largest class-action civil rights settlement in the history of the country;
and
Whereas, During the 10 years it took to
complete this lawsuit, many black farmers lost their land, homes, livelihood,
health, and hope in their government, which has had a devastating and negative
impact on; and
Whereas, When the loss of farmland
became more noticeable, black farmers and civil rights activists initiated
action to stave the land loss by acquiring land to farm collectively as a means
of reducing food insecurity in black communities, striving toward food
sovereignty, controlling the means of production and distribution of food, and
furthering the economic development of blacks; and
Whereas, There has been a resurgence of
black farmers in Michigan. Since 2002, the number of black farm operators has
increased from 243 to 356, accounting for 0.5% of the farm operators in
Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan’s rural black farmers
have worked closely with black urban growers to establish farms in cities like
Detroit and Flint and are united around the common issues of food sovereignty
and self-empowerment through food production; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare February 23‑28,
2020, as Black Farmers Awareness Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize
the trials, tribulations and accomplishments of Michigan’s black farmers and
urge the citizenry to learn more about the richness of their history and the
fight to attain food security and food sovereignty in Michigan’s underserved communities.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Cynthia Johnson moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as
follows:
Substitute for House Resolution
No. 233.
A resolution to declare February
26, 2020, as Black Farmers Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, A collaborative,
grassroots efforts of black farmers, their families, legal teams, and social
justice organizations finally sued the USDA for their racially discriminatory
policies and practices, and enjoyed victory in 1997 when they received over $1
billion in damages after winning the class-action lawsuit Timothy Pigford et al., v Dan Glickman, resulting in what was then
the largest class-action civil rights settlement in the history of the country;
and
Whereas, During the 10 years it
took to complete this lawsuit, many black farmers lost their land, homes,
livelihood, health, and hope in their government, which has had a devastating
and negative impact on; and

of reducing food insecurity in black communities, striving toward food
sovereignty, controlling the means of production and distribution of food, and
furthering the economic development of blacks; and
Whereas, There has been a
resurgence of black farmers in Michigan. A 2018 report showed that since 2002,
the number of black farm operators had increased from 243 to 356, accounting
for 0.5% of the farm operators in Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan’s rural black
farmers have worked closely with black urban growers to establish farms in
cities like Detroit and Flint and are united around the common issues of food
sovereignty and self-empowerment through food production; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of
