Beverly Burkett worked for the USDA [as a loan officer?] and has been suing them since 1994.... she was finally fired in May or June of 2013... I wonder why

Black Farmers in Alaska?
In Pigford I, two black farmers in Alaska were granted $50,000
See the EWG Report
An additional 126 "farmers' tried to get in under a court ordered extension but were denied, but were rejected.
See EWG Report
Did a lawyer solicit those 126 claims? Where did they come from? Are there really 126 black farmers, or ex-farmers in Alaska? Are there even two?
