Land Ownership Urged for Share Croppers in Dixie
A New York report by the Committee on Minority Groups in Economic Recovery urges land ownership for sharecroppers as the South faces a choice between continued agricultural regimentation with subsidies or moving toward genuine landownership. The study, funded by $50,000 from the Rosenwald Foundation and submitted to the Agriculture Department, argues that both white and black tenants and sharecroppers are trapped in a peonage-like system and highlights the decline of negro tenants from 1920 to 1940.
