The section discusses the historical injustices faced by Black farmers, particularly Black women, in relation to land ownership and agriculture, highlighting the broken promises of "40 acres and a mule" and discriminatory practices that led to the loss of millions of acres of farmland. Efforts to repair the harm inflicted by past practices are hindered by sexism and gender oppression, with organizations like the Land Loss Prevention Project in North Carolina providing legal support. Black women continue to face barriers to accessing resources and funding for land ownership, but are reclaiming their rightful place on land through initiatives like land trusts, focusing on smaller plots to serve their communities and preserve generational knowledge for future generations.
