From Broken Promises to 40 Acres and a Mule

from I Didn’t Know, Maybe You Didn’t Either! · host The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

Matthew McConaughey vs. revolving doors, Jackie Chan's father living off dog food, and Joe DiMaggio's lifelong love for Marilyn Monroe might sound random, but they all lead to one of the biggest broken promises in U.S. History. After the Civil War, newly freed Black people were guaranteed 40 acres and a mule -- This episode of IDKMYDE dives into: what that promise meant, who snatched that guarantee away, and how its betrayal still echoes today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
