it to do, that's the gist of this story. 60 different lobbying groups, including the national farmers unionost of others, they are calling on the government to use brexit as a chance to strengthen our food and agricultural safety rules, and basically saying, we are not leaving the eu in order to have chlorinated chicken at all this other stuff that we don't want, we can become world leaders in ecological and food health and safety. it is interesting that you've got these two groups. greenpeace and the nfu are not normally on the same site. i think the reason they are doing this is because there are real fears that the government will water down our food health and safety rules in order to, as we were saying earlier, get that trade deal with the us, because that is a key sector the us is interested in. i think there is 110w is interested in. i think there is now a little bit of panic or concern, yes, we are leaving on friday, what are we going to do next? what are the sacrifices the government might make? there have been commitments by the government to maintain standards. yes, but i think t

the black sharecropper that had belonged to the farmers union and became one of the founding members of the stfu. not only the stfu revived the greenback populist efforts at arkansas and elsewhere, although met with violent procession, the violence that followed two decades later, even to the except many younger members of the stfu came on to be leaders in the local civil rights in arkansas. thus the participation of african-americans from the period of reconstruction to the 1890s should be even as having laid the foundation for the 20th century. that's why i argue the fruits of the labor, good and bad, can be found in the populist reconstruction era. i will sit down. . >> good afternoon. the 1919 elaine massacre was precipitated by rural african-americans assertiveness through their demands for improved economic conditions and human dignity at a time when the south and the nation determined that they were unworthy of both. what has been left out of this story -- what has been left out of the story, the struggle for human dignity, is women's experiences and activism during and after
