Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Press Conference on Sherrod Firing

Wednesday, July 21, 2010



Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack conducted a press conference where he offered Shirley Sherrod a public apology after firing her from her position at the Department when a video of her surfaced in the media. The video, originally posted on a conservative website, appeared to show Ms. Sherrod making racially insensitive comments. That interpretation proved to be false after the full video became available.
