Fighting for the Promised Land: A Story of Farming and Racism
by Tina Antolini (Gravy, 2015)
Shirley Sherrod’s introduction to the intermingling of agriculture and racism came when she was 17 years old, with an incident that changed the course of her life.

It’s a fight that has included devastating racism, the biggest class action lawsuit in the history of the United States, and a high-profile firing from the USDA.
