More than a century and a half after the promise of 40 acres and a mule, the story of black land ownership in America remains one of loss and dispossession. June and Angie Provost, who trace their family line to the enslaved workers on Louisiana’s sugar-cane plantations, know this story well.
On today’s episode: The Provosts spoke with Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown, producers for “1619.”
