AFTON, NORTH CAROLINA - May 2001: James Davis fertilizes young tobacco plants at his farm in Afton, NC, in May 2001. "If I could get the money to produce the quantity, I could be more successful. Because of the debt I'm in I just can't quit," said James Davis on his farm in Afton, NC, in May 2001. "They came up with a figure of $1.5 million because of the way I was discriminated against. Here I am living in a three-bedroom single-wide mobile home at the age of 44 with three kids and a loving wife that stands behind me 100 percent." (Photo by Jeffrey Sauger)
