“40 Acres and a Mule” refers to the unfulfilled promise made to formerly enslaved African Americans after the Civil War, which was intended to provide them with land and resources for economic self-sufficiency. The phrase symbolizes the ongoing struggle for reparations and economic justice for descendants of slaves in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACTEC Fellows Sarah Moore Johnson<\/a> and Raymond C. Odom<\/a>, began their collaboration through research to better understand the history of slavery, post-slavery US history, reparations and the wealth gap. This presentation is an introduction to the wealth disparity resulting from slavery and Jim Crow laws and its connection to wealth transfer and wealth taxation. Watch the follow-up to this video, A Proposal to Repair Racial Wealth Disparity<\/a>, to learn more about the proposed solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
