In the early 1900's black folks collectively owned about 20 million acres of land in the US and today we own less than 4%. Why is this the case should be your primary question. The answer is simple - Systematic land theft and its been a problem since we earned our 'freedom"

On this episode we sit down with Jillian Hishaw, an expert in the problem of systematic land theft, and listen as she breaks down the how and the why but also provides context on how big of a problem it still is today.
