Created Equal

In the years following the Civil War, formerly enslaved Black Americans in the South were promised "40 acres and a mule" to provide them with land and resources for economic self-sufficiency. For many that promise was never fulfilled, and a recent investigation by the Center for Public Integrity found that more than 1,200 people received – and then lost – their land under the program. April Simpson, a reporter with the Center for Public Integrity and co-author of the "40 Acres and a Lie" report, joins "Created Equal" to discuss her findings.
