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

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. 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

The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
