Description: That’s a critical piece for African Americans, the whole notion of land loss and the context of black land loss is the only real asset that we’ve had and to put it in perspective, if you can imagine folk coming out of the early 1900s or late 18s, accumulating in the South primarily 15 million acres of land.
