The Family Land, Part 2

This week, part two of the Reels family story – how two brothers
went to jail in an attempt to save their family land, and were held
there for eight years without being charged with a crime. “I’m not
going to give up. I don’t think I’m wrong, and I’m willing to fight
for it.” For more on the Reels family’s story, you can read Lizzie
Presser’s article, “Their Family Bought Land One Generation After
Slavery. The Reels Brothers Spent Eight Years in Jail for Refusing
to Leave It.” Say hello on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
