Inhumane & Ruthless : READ The 1974 Letter From Shirley Sherrod’s Farm Victims

This doesn’t fit the Saint Shirley Sherrod Negative.

You may have seen the Ron Wilkins article detailing the way Shirley and Charles Sherrod treated the workers on their New Communities collective farm.

But have you seen the letters the workers wrote to local businesses in 1974?

The article by Wilkins was published on a left-wing site and begins…

Imagine farm workers doing back breaking labor in the sweltering sun, sprayed with pesticides and paid less than minimum wage. Imagine the United Farm Workers called in to defend these laborers against such exploitation by management. Now imagine that the farm workers are black children and adults and that the managers are Shirley Sherrod, her husband Rev. Charles Sherrod, and a host of others. But it’s no illusion; this is fact.

And it gets more devastating from there. Read it.

Now see the letters from yourself about ‘inhumane and ruthless’ treatment.

Inhumane? Ruthless? You mean like suing someone’s widow?
