40 Acres and a Mule wasn’t just a broken promise. It was a betrayal of Black Americans that has fueled a racial wealth gap that continues today. This week on Reveal, the first in our three-part series with The Center for Public Integrity: 40 Acres and a Lie. revealnews.org/podcast/40-acr…

"I know this is sacred land here cause it's my ancestors and I feel it.” We identified 1,250 formerly enslaved Black Americans who were given land under 40 Acres and a Mule—only to see it returned to enslavers. 🎧 part 1/3 Reveal The Center for Public Integrity: bit.ly/4b2gsHI

Over a more than two-year investigation, The Center for Public Integrity unearthed thousands of records. They found more than 1,200 formerly enslaved people who were given land by the federal government through the field orders – and then saw that land taken away. revealnews.org/podcast/40-acr…

40 acres in the development are worth $20 million. The land's history is largely absent. Journalists at the The Center for Public Integrity have unearthed records that prove that dozens of freed people had, and lost, titles to tracts at what’s now The Landings. revealnews.org/podcast/40-acr…
