President Obama To Sign Historic Settlement To Black Farmers
The 1997 Pigford v. Glickman case against the U.S. Agriculture Department was settled out of court 11 years ago. Under a federal judge's terms dating to 1999, qualified farmers could receive $50,000 each to settle claims of racial bias.
"This is much long overdue justice for black farmers," said John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association. President Barack Obama issued a statement applauding the Senate's decision and urging the House to follow-up on its efforts earlier this year, so he can sign the settlements into law.

President Obama proposed commitment of $1 billion over a ten-year period to HBCUs
President Barack Obama signs the Health care and Education Reconciliation Act on 2010 into law. No one has missed the health care reform mission of the bill but few are discussing the educational element of the bill, particularly its increased support for HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and PBIs (Predominantly Black Institutions) or simply MSIs (Minority Serving Institutions). “This package has been a long standing priority of our Administration’s providing the financial assistance that students need to attend college. It was necessary to pass this bill as soon as possible to get middle class families the assistance they need to make their children’s college dreams come true,” reads the official statement from the White House in response to why education was included with health care reform.
Some of the provisions include: a proposed commitment of $1 billion over a ten-year period to HBCUs and PBIs, specifically $850 million to HBCUs and $150 million to PBIs, an increase in Pell Grant awards that is estimated to benefit 200, 000 African American students and an income-based student loan repayment program which would draw ten percent of a graduate’s income as well as potentially dissolve that debt for those choosing public service careers or if the debt remains unretired after 20 years.

Patrick's Book Club
In preparation for the new year, Current Events with Patrick Cook, will be discussing the New York Times bestseller, "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Dr. Spencer Johnson.
In 2011, our theme will be "Getting Healthy: Mentally, Physically, and Financially." Consequently, we are going to read several books that will help condition our mind and prepare our psyche for change. Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life, published in 1998, is a motivational book by Spencer Johnson written in the style of a parable or business fable.
It describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to said change by two mice and two "littlepeople", during their hunt for cheese. A New York Times business bestseller since release, Who Moved My Cheese? remained on the list for almost five years and spent over 200 weeks on Publishers Weekly's hardcover nonfiction list.
