Description

In the wake of emancipation, many Black Americans reclaimed their ancestral soil, amassing acres of land. Yet, with nearly 90% of that land lost, there is little to show for it. In GAINING GROUND: THE FIGHT FOR BLACK LAND, Executive produced by Al Roker, systemic forces that relentlessly wage war on Black liberation are unveiled. Cheer on Black landowners as they reclaim their heritage, generational wealth, and birthrights. Director Eternal Polk and Tharlyn Fox, John Deere LEAP Program Manager scheduled to attend both November 4 and November 7 screenings; Marc Howze, John Deere Senior Advisor, Office of the Chairman scheduled to attend November 7.
