"Dr." John Boyd and "Black Wednesdays"

One of the things "Doctor" John Boyd likes to talk about is "Black Wednesday"... starting with a 2007 interview with NPR.

 Mr. BOYD: Yes, while I was sitting there. And, you now, we had some words afterwards. I wasn't far along as I am in my religion right now. But back then, we had some words. And he said, hey, if you want to come back next year, that's up to you. We went to the county office only one day a week where we're allowed to see the county supervisor. And the black farmers in Mecklenburg County called it Black Wednesday, because we all knew each other. And we was afraid to challenge the system because USDA was the lender of last resorts. And we figured if we didn't get any help there, then - Willie can attest - nine chances out of 10, we just was not going to get lent any money. NPR 2007 

All of the farmers in my community went on Wednesday so we called it black Wednesday; it was the only day Mr. Garnett saw black farmers. I tried to apply every year like any other farmer would and he said, “No, I’m not going to lend you any money, and you might just as well sell your farm to [another prominent white farmer] like I told you, and he’s going to allow you to milk cows on his farm. Sign the deed to [him], and we won’t come after you for any past debts.” He went to spit in his spit can, and he spit on my shirt. For the first time in my life, I felt less than a man, because I felt defenseless.  Prospect

He was right. In the purest spirit of Jim Crow, the local USDA office set aside one day a week to consider black farmers as loan applicants. We named it Black Wednesday. I took my case to CBS News correspondent Ed Bradley. He came south and investigated for 60 Minutes. When Mr. Bradley caught up with the USDA official who had repeatedly denied me loans, that employee of the United States government admitted that he was known to leave black farmers waiting for service while he napped in his office. He made light of the offense, saying he was not asleep, just snoozing. This same miscreant often left the door of his office open on Black Wednesday, so that waiting applicants could hear his degrading way of addressing their cohorts. He commonly refused to use our names, calling black farmers "Boy."  Huffington Post

Virginia farmer John Boyd describes a scene from a painful past: a white U.S. Department of Agriculture loan officer only allows black farmers to apply for loans one day a week. “Black Wednesday,” the farmers call it, and they line up outside the USDA office in Richmond, Va. The loan officer, James Garnett, leaves the door to his office open so that all the farmers in the hallway can hear the loan requests of their colleagues be summarily, and vehemently, denied.  Salon 

 I honestly thought he had just a personal problem with me. And all of the farmers would see the county supervisor only on Wednesday. So, we called it Black Wednesday because all of the farmers - black farmers would be in the lobby. We all knew each other, but we never spoke about our personal situation with the loan officer.  NPR

The interesting thing is.... in 2003 he testified to Black Thursday

The Chairman. Yes, Mr. Boyd.
Mr. Boyd. Mr. Chairman, I am going to have to leave in a
minute. I wanted to make these last closing statements. Down in
the same county I was talking about, the individual was
sleeping in the office, there were certain days that African
American farmers only could come in the office and get service.
Mr. Pires. Black Thursday.
Mr. Boyd. That was on--that is right.
Mr. Pires. It is called Black Thursdays.
Mr. Boyd. On Thursday, that was the only day you can come
into the office. If a white farmer came in before you, he would
see you and speak with him first. He would open the door while
he discussed my personal business very loudly. Overall if we
can bring some dignity and respect to the United States
Department of Agriculture where it can treat its customers with
dignity and respect, I do not think that would be asking too
much.    USDA Civil Rights Hearing Before Congress

Did the Congressional transcriber mishear John Boyd in 2003?
Did John Boyd forget the fateful day of the week somewhere between 2003 and 2007.... It seems like something I wouldn't forget.
Were FSA offices really only open to loan applicants on Wednesdays? Or was it Thursdays? That seems odd.
