When was the first NFA meeting held?

The first meeting of the New Farmers of America (NFA) was held in March 1927. This organization was established to address the needs of African American agricultural students during a time when there were significant social and educational barriers. The NFA aimed to provide leadership and educational opportunities in agriculture. The meeting in March 1927 marked the beginning of this important movement, which parallelled the establishment of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) aimed at supporting white students. Understanding the historical context of the NFA helps illustrate the significance of this event in the larger narrative of agricultural education and inclusivity in the United States.
