One of One: How Paralyzed Veterans of America Has Shaped the Nation for 80 Years — And Continues to Today
For people with disabilities, accessibility is not simply a convenience. It is a fundamental civil right, and at its most basic, a measure of freedom: the freedom to work, travel, attend events, and enter a building. When a doorway, airplane, restroom, workplace, or public space is inaccessible, that freedom is restricted. For over 80 years, […]

Timothy Charles Pigford, Civil Rights Activist and Black Farmers Advocate, Dies at 74
Timothy Charles Pigford, the lead plaintiff in the historic Pigford v. Glickman class-action lawsuit that exposed decades of systematic discrimination against Black farmers by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has died at age 74. Pigford passed away on August 23, 2026, at ECU Health Beaufort Hospital in Washington, North Carolina. Born on November 15, 1951, in Willard, North Carolina, Pigford dedicated his life to farming, civil rights activism, and historical research. His landmark 1997 litigation against the USDA resulted in one of the largest civil rights settlements in American history, with a federal court estimating the discrimination suffered by Black farmers to be worth at least $2.25 billion in restitution. The case brought national attention to the systematic denial of loans and other assistance to Black farmers that had persisted for over a century. Pigford earned a degree from UNC Wilmington and became a revered voice in social justice, marching alongside civil rights icons during the era. He was inducted into the Black Hall of Fame in recognition of his lifelong service to truth, dignity, and equality. Beyond his advocacy work, he remained deeply connected to his farming roots and cherished time with his wife, Janice Pigford, and their two sons, Timothy C. Pigford Jr. and Cornelius Pigford. An avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, he was known for his warmth, humor, and the spirited family conversations about football that brought joy to those around him. A public viewing and funeral service were held at Roseville Missionary Baptist Church in Willard, North Carolina, on August 29, 2026. Pigford was laid to rest at Newkirk Family Cemetery. His legacy endures through the generations he inspired and the ongoing fight for justice and fairness in American agriculture.
