Meeting on Saturday Sept 28
John Wesley Boyd, Jr. resides in Baskerville, Virginia with his wife Kara Brewer Boyd. He is a fourth-generation farmer, civil rights activist and the founder of the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA).
Boyd was instrumental in leading public rallies and an intensive NBFA member lobbying effort resulting in Congress approving and President Barack Obama signing into law in December 2010 legislation that set aside $1.15 billion to resolve Black farmers discrimination cases.
