Catfish Dream...Ed Scott 1st Black Catfish Plant Owner #BlackExcellence

[ORDER_66]

Ed Scott was a trailblazing Mississippi farmer and the first non-white owner and operator of a catfish plant in the nation. He battled long odds and institutionalized racism to carve out of the Mississippi Delta land an agricultural empire of black self-determination, which flowed out to and benefited his surrounding community.


Along the way he ducked Nazi sniper fire in a ditch with General Patton in World War II, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge at Selma, gave farming advice to civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer, and battled for justice against the leviathan United States government.

And it’s a shame that there aren’t any Blacks authors writing about Black issues and achievements.
