Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream . . ." brought to life at the Black Farmers Conference in the historic City of Birmingham
The National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) is a non-profit organization representing African American farmers and their families in the United States. The Black Farmers Conference continues the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King's famous "I have a Dream..." speech delivered in Washington, DC over 50 years ago.
Addressing the challenges of sustainability, Dr. Austin said, "Are we dreaming? Can independent, black farmers utilize enough innovative technology to make a difference? Naysayers have forgotten Selma, Tuskegee, and Atlanta, names embedded in our history as places where important change took hold that affects us today. The National Black Farmers 25th annual conference was held in Birmingham, Alabama because of its significant role in the civil rights movement.
"Solutions -- not slogans -- will make today's dream a reality," added Dr. Austin. "An example is The DATT Group's partner G & B Energy, Inc., soon to complete final independent test verifications of an advanced technology� labeled the Energy Bank. This will produce and store electricity or power without any fossil fuels, precious, toxic, or costly metals or chemicals, and all components in plentiful supply within any area of the U.S.
"The Energy Bank could manufacture any amount of power from 1 kilowatt to 200 or more megawatts, and all with zero emissions to the environment," he concluded.
