Abstract

The article focuses on the ongoing issue of Black land dispossession in rural areas of the South, highlighting the case of Corine Woodson, an 83-year-old woman facing the loss of her family's 40-acre property in Alabama. Despite civil rights advancements, patterns of land loss persist, with historical context showing a significant decline in Black land ownership since the mid-20th century due to systemic racism and economic exploitation. The article emphasizes that while urban civil rights narratives often dominate discussions, rural Black communities continue to face challenges that threaten their land and livelihoods, underscoring the need for recognition and action against these injustices.
