First Black woman in top USDA role talks about decades of loan discrimination. The Progress-Index Virginia State University welcomed home one of their own. Petersburg native Dr. Jewel Bronaugh made her first official appearance as USDA Deputy Secretary at a closed-session roundtable and public town hall meeting.  “VSU is the Commonwealth’s leader in supporting socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers through its agricultural research and Cooperative Extension programs,” said Dr. M.
