6,[12],13.
[12]Which shows the Law Suit is still OPEN to the AFRICAN- AMERICAN/BLACK public only)
I hope that each one of you gets a chance to read the Consent Decree of the Black farmers
lawsuit against the USDA as written by Judge Friedman. In that monumental document Judge
Friedman states in no ambiguous manner that the Black farmers should not expect to get
justice through the courts. He states that the only reason that they have gotten this far is
because of their independent, organized and persistent struggle and that the only way that
they may receive anything more is to continue in that same mode. He suggested to us that
our problem was political and this is why we have shown up here today. He in fact gave us
*September 10, 2007, " The Court WILL, however, address the motions's claim that the Court may RE-OPEN the Consent Decree at this time to NEW APPLICANTS who have never made timely submissions in the LAWSUIT."
October 22, 2007, Stipulation and Order (approving stipulation extending Monitor's appointment). Read Court Document that the "Monitor shall remain in existence beyond March 1, 2008...".
It was agreed that the mediation would last six months. But, in fact, "it took almost a year to the day," says Lewis. "My job was to get them to agreement. The complication was that the lawyers for the farmers were not representing one or two people, but many thousands. It's hard to get a sense of what 1O or 12,OOO people want. I think it was very important that the farmers be dealt with not as individuals, but as a group. We had to figure out a way to resolve all their claims together. This was one of the early struggles."
