40 Acres and a Lie Part 3
Summary
This episode of Reveal explores the history and modern movement for reparations, tracing the legacy of the broken "40 acres and a mule" promise. It highlights Fulton County’s reparations task force, which documents systemic land theft through stories like Elon Osby’s family displacement. The narrative also honors "Reparations Ray" Jenkins, whose decades of activism helped introduce H.R. 40, while contrasting economists William Darity and Glenn Loury on the feasibility and morality of federal compensation.
