    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on black Shirley Sherrod, former U.S. Department of Agriculture state director of rural development for Georgia who was falsely accused in the media of discriminating against a white man because of his race in 2010 and was forced to resign. It discusses her dedication working with poor rural communities with her husband through nonprofits as well as working to improve race relations and forging partnerships between blacks and whites in southwest Georgia.
