"As long as you’re Black in America, there will be racial situations," Cleaver said. "But that’s something I’ve had to overcome. It does hurt. It stings, and a lot of times it slows you down, but you have to find ways to persevere."
"There were times I couldn’t prove I was being treated differently because I was Black," he continued. "But I know we get left out of the opportunities because we're not in the know or among the clique."
That's where Black Soil comes in.
"Black Soil is like having a hype man," Cleaver said. "They’re always screaming your name. They've become a voice for us, which is important because the farmer already wears too many hats as it is."
