About this episode
A new podcast series from Reveal revisits the history of 40 Acres and a Mule: the land grants given to recently freed slaves after the Civil War that were later taken away. 40 Acres and a Lie tells the stories of those freed men and women who lost their land, their present descendants, and the Americans who own and live on the land today. Reporters Alexia Fernández Campbell and April Simpson discuss the series, which airs its final episode Sunday on WNYC at 11am, and wherever you get podcasts. *Guest hosted by David Furst *
