I guess no one is giving Monsanto credit for helping end Jim Crow in the south. They developed herbicides in the 1940’s and 1950’s which obviated the need for cheap labor to chop the cotton. That and the invention of the cotton picker destroyed the sharecropper system which took away the need to keep poor blacks tied to the land. I am sure that was one of Monsanto’s maniacal plots to rule the world.
