/24-7PressRelease.com/ - Sacramento - Our 6th Annual, California Kwanzaa Ag Expo, "Agriculture the Foundation of our Culture" seeks to share a broader perspective of our Kwanzaa Holiday Season with the world.
California is the world's leading Agriculture region. We will showcase past, present and future contributions of Black Farmers and Agriculturalists in our California State Capitol during our California Kwanzaa Ag Expo, Friday, December 10, 2004.
Secretary, Ann Veneman, our first women Agriculture Secretary in U.S. History and our "California Grown" Secretary, is slowly breaking down barriers nationally, in "our last plantation" our United States Department of Agriculture. Nationally, Black Farmers could be declared an endangered species and receive the proper governmental protection when our Congressional Judiciary Committee reconvens after the Kwanzaa Holiday Season.
California Department of Food and Agriculture, Secretary
A.G. Kawamura, continues to provide open and honest dialogue to enhance opportunities for all farmers in the State of California. His consistency is a breathe of fresh air and provides sunlight in an ongoing battle for equal opportunity in the Golden State.
His leadership in showcasing opportunity for Black farmers, especially specialty crops, opens new opportunity for a diversity of African and Caribbean ethnic products to reach the marketplace.
First California Governor Peter Burnett proposed to export every black person out of our state in 1850 in his inagural address. His vision for Black Farmers is sustained in many parts of our State in an unyielding, relentless attack. Today, Black Farmers have been reduced to less than 1/3 of 1% of all farmers in California, often by legislative action, judical review and executive direction.
Our California Kwanzaa Ag Expo 2004 begins a new day for Black Farmers and Agriculturalists to regain our stature and rightful place in the world's leading Agriculture community.
California is named after an African Queen Califia. The African Founding Father of California created Agriculture Export in California; his steam vessel is seen on our California State Seal.
The historical legacy of Black Farmers is best reflected in the Kwanzaa Holiday, an agricultural "first fruits" celebration created by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966 California.
Our international holiday is a unique, "California Grown" expression of the best in Pan-African traditions. The 7 principles and symbols of Kwanzaa are universal, good for the entire world.
One standard for all humanity is the vision of our celebration, "Agriculture is the Foundation of Culture." Black Farmers and Agriculturalists can lead the world in providing basic health food security for people of African ancestry globally if given an opportunity, we seek to form a more perfect union, in our world.
Black Farmers and Agriculturalist Association is based in Tillery, North Carolina, President Gary R. Grant.
