Description

"Cheese that had been bought to create that white middle-class, it was cheese that had been used to rob African Americans of their land." World famous wypipologist Michael Harriot recounts how the New Deal left Black people out. The same U.S. government that alienated Black people from subsidized mortgage programs, turned around and created programs that propped up wypipo-owned farms.
