25:52Now PlayingThey’re still making millions off land built on enslaved labor. Now there’s a deadline to give it back.
Gullah Geechee descendants are demanding the return of more than 7,000 acres of plantation land while those same sites continue generating millions in revenue. The call for reparations is rooted in stolen labor, unpaid generations, and land that was never returned after being promised. Activists are pushing for a transfer of land ownership, backed by growing grassroots support and public pressure. With a 40-day deadline now in place, the fight has moved from demand to escalation.
