The loss of land for Black Americans started with the government’s betrayal of its 40 Acres promise to formerly enslaved people—and it has continued over decades.

Today, researchers are unearthing the details of Black land loss long after emancipation. The examination of American history is happening at the city, state, even county levels as local government task forces are on truth-finding missions.

Across the country, government officials ask: Can we repair a wealth gap for Black Americans that is rooted in slavery? And how?

This week on Reveal, in honor of Black History Month, we explore the growing fight for reparations.

** A Quote to Remember
------------------------------------------------------------
“The doors were locked. It looked like it wasn’t in operation anymore…there was a life taken, and you guys just closed everything down without giving the family any answers?”
In 2020, Blossom Old Bull was raising three teenagers on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana. Her youngest son, Braven Glenn, was 17, a good student, dedicated to his basketball team.

That November, Old Bull got a call saying Glenn was killed in a police car chase that ended in a head-on collision with a train. Desperate for details about the accident, she went to the police station, only to find it had shut down without any notice.

This kicks off a yearslong search to find out what happened to Glenn and how a police force could disappear overnight without explanation.
