The Revocation of '40 Acres and a Mule'

The chapter explores the devastating moment at Trinity Church where newly freed individuals were informed that the 40 Acres program had been revoked, forcing them back into working for their former slave owners. It depicts the disillusionment and resistance faced by the freed people as they realized the injustice of having their land grants deemed worthless. The narrative extends to the struggles and determination of individuals like Jim Hutchinson in securing and maintaining land for their communities despite historical wealth disparities and challenges in addressing reparations.
