In a historic milestone, the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) will mark a quarter of a century standing up for tens of thousands of African American farmers and their families, helping them fight for the same rights and opportunities millions of other farmers have been afforded.
The NBFA will hold its 25th annual conference in Birmingham, Alabama on November 6-7, 2015 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport Hotel. Participants will hear from a number of noted speakers, including Hillary Clinton campaign representative who was a former top advisor to President Bill Clinton and the head of his successful 1992 campaign for President, James Carville. President Obama said in a letter to NBFA members “the NBFA has played a central role in ensuring all Americans have the chance to lend their hard work and ingenuity to our Nation’s harvests and to share in its bounty.” The Obama Administration is sending Stephanie Young, Director of African American Outreach, Office of Public Engagement, to address the conference on behalf of the White House.
