发帖数: 1 | 1 From 15 Million Acres To 1 Million: How Black People Lost Their Land
At its height, Black land ownership was impressive. At the turn of the 20th
century, formerly enslaved Black people and their heirs owned 15 million
acres of land, primarily in the South, mostly used for farming. In 1920, the
925,000 African-American farms represented 14 percent of the farms in
America.
Sadly, things turned for the worse, as 600,000 Black farmers were forced off
their land with only 45,000 Black farms remaining in 1975. Now, Black folks
are only 1 percent of rural landowners in the U. S., and under 2 percent of
farmers. Of the 1 billion acres of arable land in America, Black people
today own a little more than 1 million acres, according to AP….
