This is a visual of one acre. About 160,000,000 acres of land was owed to the kidnapped and enslaved Africans within the United States of America during the time of the Emancipation Proclamation signing. After Lincoln’s assassination on April 14, 1865, the Special Field Order, No. 15 would be reversed and the land given to Black families would be rescinded and returned to White Confederate landowners. Even worse is the amount of earned land and money that was stolen from Indigenous and African people within America categorized as "Colored." Whole cities burned, covered by manmade lakes, and even land stolen through title theft. The titles "Colored" and "Indian" created a humongous theft by itself. Colored does not mean African and Indian did not actually mean Indigenous. #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #landtheft #paywhatyouowe Reposted from @nationalreparationsleague Now can you see it?
