It’s often thought of as a promise that was never kept. But “40 acres and a mule” was more than that.
It was real.
In 40 Acres and a Lie, a three-part podcast series from Reveal and the Center for Public Integrity, we tell the history of an often-misunderstood government program that gave formerly enslaved people land titles, only to take the land back. We explore a reparation that wasn’t – and the wealth gap that remains.
