Amare Stoudemire Rumors

Stoudemire says he wants to build on the legacy of the African-American farmers who have worked the land in the U.S. for centuries. About 100 years ago, there were an estimated 1 million Black farmers in the U.S. Fewer than 50,000 remain because of “historic discrimination within the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” according to a February announcement of the Justice for Black Farmers Act, spearheaded by Sen. Cory Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey. “I started reading more about how a lot of those farmers were somewhat taken advantage of when it came to new bills that were being signed and so forth for farmers,” Stoudemire explains. “So it became pretty interesting to me to show face and that there are still African Americans who are passionate about farming.”
