June and Angie Provost

Louisiana | 1919-Present

The Provosts are sugarcane farmers in Louisiana. Coming from some of the very last black sugarcane farmers in the U.S., their family has raised sugarcane for over four generations. Yet their once vast farm has fallen victim to discriminatory loan servicing by unscrupulous lenders and unfair treatment by sugar mill executives. The Provosts are fighting to dismantle the discriminatory patterns and practices committed against them and need immediate assistance to save their ancestral land.
