Herb Boyd and Eddie Harris attended the annual meeting of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund in Epes, Alabama, on August 21, and filed this special report for Free Speech TV. Speakers at the event included Shirley Sherrod, former Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the United States Department of Agriculture, and Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, both who talk about the firing of Sherrod, the dirty tricks of Andrew Breitbart and the 24/7 news cycle that helped lead to her ouster.
