BLACK FARMERS V. THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE By David Pitts In April 1999, a federal judge approved a settlement in the most significant civil rights case ever to go to mediation. It involved a group of black farmers who alleged that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had discriminated against them for more than a decade. Contributing Editor David Pitts traces the origins of this landmark mediation that may set a precedent for avoiding long and costly court proceedings in civil rights and other civil cases in the future. (The announcement on November 19 that the U.S. government's antitrust case against Microsoft Corporation would be subjected to mediation highlights this potential.) John Newkirt's roots in the land of rural Georgia run deep. He inherited his 347-acre farm in Garfield about 40 miles north of Savannah from his father and later added 147 acres of his own. He says his troubles began in 1984 when local USDA officials denied him a loan to run his farm for reasons he feels were discriminatory. In 1990, he lost his own land completely after the government foreclosed on him. He says he has been able to buy it back, but now rents it out rather than farming it himself. "My land was taken from me," he says. "I will always have the memory of the pain and suffering that caused." John Newkirt on his farm in Garfield, Georgia
