Celebrating 155th Anniversary of “40 Acres and a Mule” Meeting in Savannah

This is the annual screening of “40 Acres and a Mule,” a docudrama about the meeting of U.S. government officials with 20 African-American church leaders on January 12, 1865 in Savannah, Georgia. It was this meeting that produced the U.S. land redistribution policy known as “40 Acres and a Mule.” An audience discussion follows the screening. Free and open to the public.
