Our What's For Dinner Lecture Series is back! On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, DBCFSN is proudly hosting Savi Horne, Executive Director of the North Carolina Association Black Lawyers Land Loss Prevention Project, to present on The State of Black Land.
Savi Horne is Executive Director of the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers Land Loss Prevention Project (LLPP). LLPP is a non-profit public interest organization that is celebrating 42 years of providing legal services and technical support to North Carolina’s financially stressed farmers, ranchers and landowners to preserve their farms, homes, land and rural livelihoods.
Savi served as a member of the Agriculture Subcommittee of the United States Department of Agriculture Equity Commission. The Equity Commission made recommendations for systemic changes in the delivery of programs and services to advance greater access for farmers, ranchers and forest owners. She is a member of the Leadership Team of the National Black Food and Justice Alliance/Black Land and Power Coalition and as well as the boards of National Family Farm Coalition and the Rural Coalition.
Savi has been widely honored for her work which includes the 2020 American Bar Association Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources (SEER) Award for Excellence in Environmental, Energy and Resources Stewardship. In September 2022, she was given the Spirit of Farm Aid Award: Lifetime All Access Pass, signed by Willie Nelson, in recognition of her “tireless contribution to Farm Aid’s mission to cultivate a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America.” In June 2023, she accepted the Leadership Award from the James Beard Foundation. She is a graduate of the Rutgers University School of Law-Newark (J.D.) and the City College of New York (B.A).
