The July Sidney Award goes to @publicintegrity, @MotherJones, and @reveal for uncovering exciting new evidence of the US's first attempt at reparations for slavery, the betrayal that followed, and the wounds that endure: hillmanfoundation.org/sidney…

40 acres in the development are worth $20 million. The land's history is largely absent. Journalists at the @publicintegrity have unearthed records that prove that dozens of freed people had, and lost, titles to tracts at what’s now The Landings.

Over a more than two-year investigation, @publicintegrity unearthed thousands of records. They found more than 1,200 formerly enslaved people who were given land by the federal government through the field orders – and then saw that land taken away.

Reporters compiled Reconstruction-era documents to identify 1,250 formerly enslaved Black Americans given land—only to have it returned to their enslavers. Important reporting from @publicintegrity, @reveal, and @irworkshop. baltimorebeat.com/40-acres-a…

This Juneteenth, listen to the first of our three-part series with @publicintegrity uncovering the hidden history of 40 Acres and a Mule, the reparation that wasn't, and the wealth gap that remains revealnews.org/podcast/40-ac…
Ashley Clarke retweeted
It’s here! In this episode, @aprilleticia & @nadzhamz take us to a plantation in SC that was granted to former slaves. They talk to descendants of a freedman whose 40 acres were revoked & to descendants of his enslaver.

"I know this is sacred land here cause it's my ancestors and I feel it.”
We identified 1,250 formerly enslaved Black Americans who were given land under 40 Acres and a Mule—only to see it returned to enslavers.

"40 Acres and a Lie" tells the true story of "40 acres and a mule," and how it failed Black Americans. "We hope this investigation is just the beginning of a larger effort to tell the stories of people forgotten by history," says @publicintegrity.

40 Acres and a Mule wasn’t just a broken promise. It was a betrayal of Black Americans that has fueled a racial wealth gap that continues today.
This week on Reveal, the first in our three-part series with @publicintegrity: 40 Acres and a Lie.

So happy to see @amydipierro and @C_C_Mitchell recognized with the @EdWriters award for Investigative and Public Service reporting! "Unhoused and Undercounted" proved that school districts across the country are failing to identify and serve unhoused kids. publicintegrity.org/educatio…

Hire @a_mendelson before someone else snaps him up. A talented journalist who also is a great colleague.
I was laid off from @publicintegrity on Friday. Especially tough news to get on my beat in an election year. But that's life.
It was an amazing couple years — and I'm now looking for my next gig. Know of something? Get in touch

We have been sending trainers to disaster relief efforts for YEARS so we're happy to see this comprehensive report telling these workers' stories 🙏🏽 @publicintegrity @fuhinvestigates @columbiajourn @latinousa
Companies rake in contracts to rebuild, but who pays the price? It's workers like Santos & Mariano who suffer the consequences of toxic exposure.

I had the best colleagues at @publicintegrity! @j_la28, @jsmithhopkins & @WatchdogDiva are the kind of editors you want in your newsroom. They are amazing editors because they care about the work AND the people producing it.
