Listen "The Black Tax"
Episode Synopsis
Black land loss is at a critical point in America, but especially in the South. Since emanipation, the deck has been stacked against Black land owners, who by 1910 had 16 million acres. At last count, the number was around 6 million and dropping fast. Author Andrew Kahrl of the book, The Black Tax: 150 Years of Theft, Exploitation, and Disposition in America sheds a bright light not only on the problem as we know it today, but also on its origin, and how we got here.
