- Today, the phrase “40 acres and a mule” represents the broken promises the U.S. government has made to Black American farmers, contributing to a vast racial wealth gap. CBS Reports explores the ways in which Black Americans are trying to reclaim their land, connect to their ancestry, and generate wealth that can be passed on for generations to come.

Any more news about Trump’s prison term?
L pl
5hundred and 2 acres .y family all got do is give them few dollars they satisfied u til they broke
Black farmers were also sold bad seeds on purpose. So , when they went to plant their crops, most of it would result in failure. Some people are just wicked!
INSTRUMENTS OF SATAN for sure!
Proof?
@@christigoth You can google it.
Sounds like the forerunner to monsanto.
@@christigothEven the USDA was found to be discriminating against black farmers, yet you have a problem believing private enterprises would do such a thing, in the south? Take some time to educate yourself.
Don't sell it, don't give it away and don't let anybody take it! AMEN!
Easier said then done laws and lies cheat and steal
I inherited me a lil piece right in the middle of gentrification... o boy their riding me
I agree with every thing she said at the end except the last statement by the lady saying they don’t owe us anything. YES THEY DO!
Indeed
You got it in the form of affirmative action for 60+ years. What do you think all the welfare checks, free housing, tax credits, and preferential treatment were for ? A bonus?
White women benefit the most from affirmative action programs but they say it's us
@@8646aaronshut up
Everybody get this benefit in America even immmigrants undocumented . There needs to be something For brown people specifically that the whites can’t AGAIN benefit from
Only thing missing from this documentary (and I'd argue most importantly) was a call to action and specific ways to help this and other families that have been impacted by these acts of terror, looting, and sabotage.
We need reparations. ADOS (Americans Descendants of Slavery) and ADOF(American Descendants of Freeman).
@@meb777 You need NADA from white people. We do not stand with you. We oppose your welfare mindset.
My takeaway would be....buy land. No need to live in the cities anymore if you can afford to leave.
Owner/seller financing through a government county department that can handle the legal aspects of solar financing is an easy way to buy land.
It was so prevalent it was a way of life. When Blacks owned too much you didn't pay them for it...just steal it. When they grew too fast, destroy their towns and bury the evidence under highways. When 1.2M Black soldiers returned from WW2, nearly all were denied access to wealth generating mechanisms such as G.I.Bills to purchase land, homes, a car, education, property, start a business. So the great "Golden Era" of American middle class prosperity commenced with Blacks being left in the rearview mirror under a shoud of legal discrimination. And further cementing Blacks as the permanent underclass of America.
400 years is overwhelmingly hurtful and disheartening.
Start by telling the blacks that enslaved and sold them in the first place about it
400 years is so oppressive and psychologically damaging that it clearly effects even the generations of today....
Reparations are a debt not a handout!
My great great great grandfathers and Uncles had over 1000 acres of land in South Carolina. All of it was stolen using eminent domain. It happened so much back then and even now. Sad all around.
Sorry that happened to your family
I'm sorry. That's terrible and honestly scary for land owners.
Same happened to my wife’s family in Berkeley County
what you speak of happened to many many……there were laws that were created by whiteness so that they could steal outright and nothing was done……there were some Black People who were of the belief that these good whites were helping them with various issues….next thing you know, the good whites got your land…..the history of the Black American’s experience in America is incredible……..the saddened, danger, trauma, hopelessness……suffering…yet through perseverance there is survival after facing savagery…..pure savagery…….
Our family friends refused to sell a 20 Acre section of their land in SC to a local paper mill. They went to do the annual land check to find that the timber was illegally stolen off that same 20 acres they refused to sell! Local police did nothing. They've since started moving onto the land and securing the property.
My uncle had 40 acres and they tried to take it from him! So sad! And he bought it after WWII. He was at Normandy.
A mule now worth a million dollars, 40 acres now worth over 6.5 million. My Family owns over 40, it will never be for sale. It keeps me grounded in knowing who I am.
Thank you #CBS for telling our stories. Praying for the Smith family to keep control of all their land for years and years to come.
What you should be praying for is the implementation of this broken promise to all descendants of American chattel slavery
They owe and acknowledge they owe but yet find every reason not to pay for 160 years
All black people should be buying some land even if it's only 5 to 10 acres of FARMLAND! Even if you never live on it or use it yourself. Get it in your families, teach your children to value owning land because the prices will only keep going up. The man in this story can thank his grandparents for buying the land that he now lives on and farms. Even if you only use it to grow food for your own family. You are making your children independent of those who wish to keep them dependent on them for food. Grow your own food! Learn how to build your own houses! Stop spending your money on things like automobiles just cause you want to look like you got something and you aint got nothing.
All people in general should be buying land
@@clintjohnson7023 -The story is not about "ALL PEOPLE! The story is about BLACK PEOPLE!
@@purpleiris6489what do you have against white people.
You never gave 40 acres, and a mule, but you did give them the Devil's Punch Bowl in Missippi.
Eminent domain to seize black land should be unconstitutional.
The fact that a station like CBS is finally doing this kind of minimal journalism is testament to the ongoing struggles for social and economic justice in this country and around the world.
Every American is afforded a K-12 grade education. After that it's all about hard work and sacrifice. Nobody owes you a damn thing after you turn 18.
Great documentary. I wish them prosperity for generations to come 😊
Excellent documentary! Everyone needs to watch this, and it should be taught in all of our schools!
It will not because of white fragility.
The government and governors
think otherwise
@mariejane1567 so do most of the people.
@@8646aaronsome but definitely not most.
@@8646aaron many whites are racist. Whites can't handle a fair economic chance, Black Americans will dominate. Black Americans never had a disgusting feel for whites, it was always Whites fear Black success. Black Americans overcome every trap and setback whites attempted on the Black community in America.
One way to prevent eminent domain is to bury a family member on or land. Burial sites cannot be moved.
My father and his brother was ran out of farming due to a lot of these same practices. This is in georgia, my family resides in South Carolina. They tried to reach a settlement with the government but ended up giving up due to the endless legal battles & rabbit holes.
One thing we all KNOW about these corporations is that they lie, lie, lie. Besides that, the railroad company was "disingenuous" from the very beginning because when the families wouldn't sell, they petitioned the government under eminent domain. #WolvesInSheepsClothing 😑
My family had about 400 acres in East Texas, at one point. My great grandfather or his dad, had the idea to purchase a bunch of and in a rural area that nobody really visits to this day! Over time parts of the land was sold, and we currently have about 150-175 acres still. People have tried, for decades left and right to get that land from us, not to mention its sitting on oil and a small lake. The last offer I can remember a random businessman offering was what basically broke down to less than $100/acre. Mind you this was in 2021..he tried to throw a large number out like we wouldn't do the math lol. At this point, we honestly just want to hold on to it for the family sake, but the older generation who actually grew up there are tired of taking care of it. We currently are planning on ways to take over control, but it's just a tough situation for everyone.
Start an irrevocable family trust and assign trustees and beneficiaries. Outline how the land must be used, how it can be sold, who votes, who manages it, etc etc. Keep it protected
You may have oil rights as well. There’s a story of a woman finding that out in her divorce. She was an instant millionaire. Look in to it.
thanks for the positive info sister each 1 teach 1
Develop it!! Subdivided Lease parts to businesses. Organize a government
Plant trees for lumber on the land, that's an easy way to preserve the land and make money for generations.
I couldn't say it any better than this. If you're black and you have what they want .don't ever give it up never never never give it up. Pay them taxes but hold steady to that property. 😮😮😮😮
My grandfather had 40 acres of land taken from him in 1937 in Emerson, Columbia County, Arkansas.
Praying that black folks especially of a certain age get their 40 acres and a mule 🖤. It’s long overdue.
Who is going to pay? Not the Republicans. We formed the GOP in 1854 and Lincoln was the parties first President. We fought a Civil War because the Democrat's refused to free their slaves. We won the war freed the slaves and created the 13,14,15th Amendment to protect Black Americans. If you feel someone owes you go find a Democrat.
I need 40 acres I'm homeless
"They got money for wars but can't feed the poor"-2pac
I was born and raised in Sandersville Georgia, one of the richest cities in the state of Georgia and 15 minutes away from Sparta Georgia. The owners of the Sandersville Railroad, ,the Tarbutton family is the richest most influential family in Sandersville. It is said The Tarbuttons have legally stolen acres upon acres of land from black families for decades. "ALLEGEDLY"
That happened ALL over the South!!!
However, a lot of Negros sold land for a few bottles of SHINE!!!
I’m from Swainsboro and am familiar!
Mrs. Sherrod is an WarriorAngel. May God continue to bless her and the community. We need to be able to FEED our selves.
My great grandparents were farmers in NC. It’s kind of cool that their occupation was listed on my grandmother’s original birth certificate. When my great grandfather died, my great grandmother passed away not long after, leaving my grandmother and her siblings alone. The county made up a bogus story that my great grandmother died of some kind of “fever” and that they needed to burn down the farm. This was their way of stealing our family’s land from children, literally. My grandmother packed up her siblings and what they could fit in suitcases and headed north to NJ. It is my goal to track down that land and buy it back. So much has been taken from us. Our history, language, family, culture, lives, and land… it’s gross how white Americans have convinced themselves that all is well and equal. They are, by and large, completely delusional.
Keep in mind that your land seizure was executed by men belonging to the Democratic Party.
Sue for it back. If the county took it without proper cause and chain of title, you can sue for that land. Because even IF they truly needed to burn the land, the heirs were owed compensation and I doubt they received that.
Consult a civil rights attorney who specializes in land rights and real estate. God bless you in your endeavors 🙏🏽.
I'm never going to disagree with reparations. If we can't even offer these people our money just to give us the right to have the system work for us like it works for them, the money can't do anything for us either. It's just usher bucks
@@jennaywilliams7664The literally Anti Black/African Americans system was never meant to work for or benefit us. Plus we are still low-key living within the land of our Captivity. Also it's not merely money or Reparations. It's instead unsugar coatedly simply a part of the proper biblical atonement making process. Which is connected to why unrepentant America is currently falling off + under the judgment of God. Which will sadly only get worse & not better. Seeing as America has & historically has had the same jacked up oppressive + more spirit or attitude. Towards us in particular that Old Testament Pharaoh had towards Moses & the children of the Most High. Which is not mere coincidence at all. We gotta peep the biblical aspect to this one of a kind unique condition & situation
Yep, better off living in Africa huh?
My great grandmother's parents had a farm after Slavery. We still own the land and in the 90's, the trees were sold off the land and the revenue was distributed to each head of the household in the family. I don't know the status of the land now. I'm hoping it's still owned by us.
That is great! My opinion is reconnect, this land is part of your lineage and history! Also listening to Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan has tought me a lesson. I am White AF, his point especially towards white culture is we do not work together ad clans or family units like other cultures. For example, you have a doctor, contractor, dentist, in your family and you all benefit! Share property and cars and other stuff, soon those folks are all millionaires! Pakistanis and Asian family's do it, also through Family and the church Nigerians Christian's especially are prosperous. Just wanted to relay that thought, maybe you can benefit a younger family member also.
I love how they still have their land! Just being passed down from generation to generation. We've came such a long way and still have a ways to go. I dislike how we have been and are still treated. It's sad.
@@presidenteden6498Read prison statistics. Read police brutality statistics. They're demographically and socioeconomically weighted.
@@presidenteden6498did you watch the documentary or did you come to troll?
@@presidenteden6498it's definitely a HUGE PROBLEM!!!
@@presidenteden6498the delusion is heavy with us and to think there is so much land that has been taken and not given back
@@presidenteden6498there’s no point in explaining anything to someone who really doesn’t care. Even if we told you you wouldn’t believe and it’s not in you to believe the system is rigged for Europeans period, and it always will be. There’s a lawsuit in Canada for 1000 black individuals being discriminated in the work environment. Racism and oppression is alive and well for us, the face of it has just changed and it’s more subtle as if there wasn’t.
"By your own boot straps they said..." but then they burn down what you've fought overwhelming odds to build.
I sure hope that they have great security on their land in Freedom, GA! We know how them folks operate when they see us with anything worth anything!
Love my Black peoples
That's shows how the U.S. Government denied African -Americans farmers 🚜 for decades loans 🇺🇲💸. Reparations should be giving to all African -Americans today for past discrimination by the U.S.A. Government and their cronies 🇺🇲💸.
Why should I have to pay a cutt out of my paycheck to pay black people for something I had no involvement in at all what so ever, And my ancestors were brought to the US as slaves aswell I’m just not black. I have to pay just bc I’m not black? That would be modern day racism.
I disagree with the sista at the end....we deserve what's due to us
Wow!! That’s a beautiful thing to see my people building there own community on 500 acres of land now that’s legacy wealth and freedom!!! Love it!!!
07:52 🤷🏾♂️ I guess having the Railroad go AROUND their property and not THROUGH it was NEVER even considered.
Thank you Skyler and CBS Reports for producing this Gem
But people will say this is "victim hood mentality"... a lot of times and I can easily say over 51% in US history black folks have been preyed on specifically due to the color of their skin
It is a biblical aspect to all of this & not just about skin color. For example Reparations is simply a part of the proper biblical atonement making process. And is connected to why unrepentant America is currently falling off AKA really under the judgment of God. Plus note how America has & has historically had the same spirit or attitude towards African Americans. That Old Testament Pharaoh had towards Moses and the children of the Most High. Which is not mere coincidence at all
40 acres and a mule refers to our REPARATIONS
This docu serves as another great example to both show the lengths wyt people have & do, go through to hinder Black progression, and to show how they just won't leave Black American people alone. It's like they are obsessed with Black people one way or another! Even still in 2023.
Agreed and the wife is off code sounding like a religious republican. 21:25 her personal feeling is not the talking point of american descendants of slavery. I are owed and need reparations to be made whole. Personally I'm atheist, we need the government to make us whole. We are being taxed and we need to be represented.
@@williebrinson4699 A couple things. I agree with your point about how the wife answered. But my issue with it is, it almost sounds like she's letting wyt people off the hook, even in the midst of them trying to buy & take them off their land. Also, I don't know why you're an atheist, but the Gods of the Holy Scriptures are true. And our people being in this condition and position of being ados is a direct correlation to them and our current condition. And so, we as a whole will not be redeemed with reparations. But change to us, and with us, will happen.

@@williebrinson4699Bad time to be an Atheist seeing as unrepentant America is literally currently falling off (hyper inflation and all.).

Also note how America has & has historically had the same spirit or attitude towards African Americans. That Old Testament Pharaoh had towards Moses + the children of the Most High.

As a black women, this report was very informative and inspiring ❤
Stop calling yourselves black
God bless y’all and keep fighting for your land and most of all keep it!!!! We’ve lost enough from them stealing from us!!!! This land is legacy and wealth and Freedom!!!
"I feel that no one owes me anything", This is a sad statement. How can you see all that has been stolen and say these words? A debt is owed, if not to you, then at least think of your grandchildren.
Whats your preferential treatment and selection for the past 60 years worth. Or the free housing, healthcare, food, tax credits, and scholarships? The opportunities and jobs that businesses and organizations are required by law to give you even when less qualified. Getting paid for something you never were is ridiculous. Having opportunities not available to me for something I never did is wrong.

One of my best friend's family did get land near Frederickburg, VA. They still own part of it.
Great story focused on the true realities. There are two forms of power -- organized money and organized people. Land ownership, if you can get it and keep it, helps to make both possible.
I never believed in how a voice can make a difference until I saw this video. Remarkable video
If your going to kicked them off of their land because of Eminent Domain the family need to get a huge percentage of the 1.5 Million dollars each year!
Great documentary... HISTORY IN THE MAKING..DONT GIVE UP.
That's inspiring invest in land first later u can build a home .praying 🙏
As I sit here and listen to this article, Im saddened by the truths it speaks. Land ownership provides a legacy for future generations. I'm so glad to see that education, intelligence prevailed.
My black American brothers and sisters, please continue to fight for what belongs to you and don't give up. That was what your strong and very intelliget ancestors did to be able to keep their farms, lands, and able to pass them on to you. White supremacists do not give in from stealing and taking your farms, lands, and many of your properties so, please do not stop fighting for what belong to you. Descendants of slaves no matter where they may be, they will always be my brothers and sisters.
This was very informative, great job!
Eminent domain, railroads. New dogs old tricks.
This media presentation was/is aspiring; and definitely worth viewing. I’ll be sure to share it.
Important story.
Thanks for covering this.
I would like to see what other train routes were being considered, and why THIS route in particular was selected. More than a statement is needed.
Congratulations to the members of the 19 families. That beautiful. I wish you the best. I will say that letting the oppressor know that you are aware that you're being mistreated is a necessary step for several reasons. Legally, "silence is acquiescence." They'll say that it must not have been THAT bad. The word 'begging' is a dog whistle and is used to shut down the demands of the injured party aka the plaintiff who is seeking redress in the form of monetary payment from a defendant.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I wish they had pointed out what legislative party put a stop to that 40 acres and a mule.
We didn't deserve 40 Acres and a Mule, WE EARNED IT!!!!!!!!

It was the southern Democrats that had slaves
FYI
Every race has had slaves
It was the white race and the British Navy that brought worldwide slavery to an end as we know it
Although it’s still exist
In the form of human trafficking and in some countries in Africa and possibly China
Thank you for this one!!!!!
Yes , keep going on ♥️ 💪 👏 🙌 👍 👌
Unfulfilled promises. Insightful documentary!
Unrealized or unacknowledged, really. 60 years of affirmative action and receiving welfare checks, free housing, tax credits, scholarships, grants, loans and preferential treatment wasn't a bonus. It also amounts to a lot more than 40 acres and a mule.
@@8646aaronDude stopping ignorantly speaking from a white + biases AF perspective. And simply realized how that wasn't Reparations. And how all this is connected to why unrepentant America is currently falling off + under the judgment of God. Which will only get worse due to folks such as yourself & others. Also note how it's God himself who is in disagreement with all the crap you have said. Also note how you most likely don't even care to understand things. Such as reparations is simply a part of the proper biblical atonement making process. As well as you really do actually Reap what you Sow. It's not just a catchy sounding bible verse. Also note how America (The foundational root core itself rooted in systematic racism + more.). Has not Reaped what it has Sow. Hence why it's currently falling off & under the judgment of God now.

Thank you for educating me on this topic. Keep going and never stop. God bless you all. Debbie
I agree, everyone should know the history of the Democratic party regarding their slaves and the Civil War that ensued because Democrats wouldn't give up their slaves. Don't forget either how Republicans pushed Democrats out of the way to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1967. Damn Democrats.
The railroad company has some nerve. Its not their land. How is it that confiscating land is still an issue even now when they own it outright?
Thank CBS for this report.
My family came from Vacherie, L.A The Laura Plantation none of my relatives came off a boat from Africa we are full blooded The Washa Tribe my great great grandfather a rows on top of rows they had so much land in Vacherie that our family took up 5 blocks on each side of the road up there I grew up in New Orleans but heard a lot of stories from my great grandmother may she text in peace
Thanks for sharing this is what i been teaching everyone i grew up with here in the city of Los Angeles 💪✊✌️
It’s as simple as making a new lease, and the lease name is historical preservation easement which means they cannot touch your home or rearrange it legally The next step would be to Homestead your home. Now your claim is more strongly supported
May God bless you all for what you are doing.
We are owed so much !!!
Getting a loan was an extremely difficult decision for black people. They were denied and if given the loan interest rate was extremely high.
True. I'm not a farmer, but last year I applied for 2 small personal loans with almost Excellent credit scores (770, 767, 745) and got denied both times AND they dropped my credit scores by almost 100 points!
They don't give loans the black folks
My dad told me he worked so hard in the fields for granddad to catch a break. He'll work the mule to death 😢
Reeducate to educate is definitely needed!
This is powerful!
Praying for justice for our people.
Love these stories!!!...
Taking land is one of the main ways "they" stripped many Afro-American families of generational wealth. Land never depreciates. That's why land is so valuable and vital in building generational wealth.
It created a gap in generational wealth…
The the Native American have been given land for Casinos and home on reservations, Black Americans need the to have their land restores.
Nowadays, the government has been granting Imminent Domain to private developers who claim that they need the privately owned land for improvements that will benefit the environment and community.🤨😠
It is so wonderful to hear this
