1/7/2019- Important Concepts for Tomorrow's Student Led Youth Led Discussion: Reading- Median Wealth of Black Americans
Forty Acres & A Mule- The phrase “forty acres and a mule” evokes (suggest) the Federal government's failure to redistribute land after the Civil War and the economic hardship that African-Americans suffered as a result. As Northern armies moved through the South at the end of the war, blacks began cultivating land abandoned by whites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcJecvX6GQU
Gi Bill- Veterans Day is always an occasion among progressives to talk up the GI Bill. And, indeed, that 1944 legislation was truly remarkable, helping millions of returning veterans go to college and buy homes in the great postwar suburban land rush. Unfortunately, we often forget the darker side of this story -- which is how African-American veterans were denied many of the benefits of the GI Bill.
Reparations for Slavery- Reparations for Slavery is the idea that some form of compensatory payment needs to be made to the descendants of Africans who had been enslaved as part of the Atlantic Slave Trade. The most notable demands for reparations have been made in the United Kingdom and in the United States. Caribbean and African states from which slaves were taken have also made reparation demands.
Redlining- A discriminatory practice by which banks, insurance companies, etc., refuse or limit loans, mortgages, insurance, etc., within specific geographic areas, especially inner-city neighborhoods.

Concept 1: Colorism- In the US, colorism has roots in European colonialism and the plantation system of enslaved African Americans. Colorism is prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. It is “a form of oppression that is expressed through the differential treatment of individuals and groups based on skin color. Typically, favoritism is demonstrated toward those of lighter complexions while those of darker complexions experience rejection and mistreatment….” (Jackson-Lowman, 2013)
