They will never give us land.

My wife is from a small port town outside of Wilmington. It was mostly a Black port. When Black folk owned land on the water it was labeled high risk, bad soil.. you couldn’t build on it.

Once they sold it to white folk all a sudden the land was valuable and you could build on it. My wife’s fam built a ton of houses and some of them still own farms.
