Dr. John Wesley Boyd, Jr., is President of the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA). The NBFA filed a federal lawsuit seeking to force Bayer/Monsanto to either stop selling its widely used weedkiller Roundup or roll out new product warnings. The lawsuit says Black farmers developed cancer after Monsanto convinced them that it was safe.
