Shirley Sherrod's Dad was murdered by a White Farmer

Shirley Sherrod the former Georgia Director of Rural Development, if you have been paying attention to any news you know a little about her and what happened. CNN, has a very interesting article on Ms. Sherrod explaining her childhood growing up on a farm and how her father Hosie Miller, who was a deacon at a local church, was shot to death by a white farmer in 1965 in the back, over what Mrs. Sherrod says was over a few cows. A grand jury investigation was held but no one was charged.

That night made turned Sherrod's mindset to working toward a different positive culture in the South stating 
"I decided to stay in the South and work for change,". Sherrod has spent 45 years working for civil rights, after receiving her masters degree at Antioch University, Sherrod started to help farmers down in Georgia.

Now if you don't know Sherrod was forced out of her job after a video from Conservative-Far Right Andrew Breitbart posted on his website an edited video of Sherrod stating at a local NAACP event that she "didn't give him the full force of what she could do". So this three minute edited vid was all over news mediums, fox news posted it, Breitbart was saying in the midst of the NAACP condemning and writing their resolution to the Tea Party's racist antics that NAACP was rewarding racism. The NAACP President Ben Jealous denounced her stating
"Racism is about the abuse of power. Sherrod had it in her position at USDA. According to her remarks, she mistreated a white farmer in need of assistance because of his race. We are appalled by her actions, just as we are with abuses of power against farmers of color and female farmers". On top of that her boss, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, asked for her resignation and she had to do it from her phone's email.

Ok then the full video of Mrs. Sherrod's speech came out, which was released by the NAACP where if you listen to the FULL video she states that "Working with him made me see that it's really about those who have versus those who don't. You know—and they could be black, and they could be white. They could be Hispanic. And it made me realize then that I needed to work to help poor people. … God helped me to see that it's not just about black people. It's about poor people. … I've come to realize that we have to work together. … We have to get to the point, as Toni Morrison said, [where] race exists, but it doesn't matter". The (him) she speaks of is the farmer Roger Spooner who she helped. So now everyone sees how her words where taking out of context by Breitbart and that Mrs. Sherrod was speaking on transformation and change in a person.  Tom Vilsack apologized  and offered Sherrod her a new job, Ben Jealous apologized along with the NAACP and said he was "snookered" by Tea Party Member and conservative in Breitbart by the edited video. The Obama Administration apologized but no direct quote from President Obama. MORE TO COME
