Penniman is careful to point out that the reparations map is an effort designed to be complementary to, but not a substitute for, the larger national effort for reparations being coordinated by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blackfoodjustice.org/\">National Black Food and Justice Alliance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The History of Reparations\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The call for reparations dates back to the federal government’s failure make good on its promise of “40 acres and a mule” to newly freed slaves after the Civil War under General William T. Sherman’s \u003ca href=\"http://ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/after_slavery_educator/unit_three_documents/document_five\">Special Field Order No. 15\u003c/a>, created in January of 1865, and later approved by President Lincoln. By June of the same year, 40,000 freedmen had been settled on 400,000 acres of what was known as Sherman Land in the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money generated from farming that land gave Black families the opportunity to create financial mobility and economic security. By 1920, Black Americans owned \u003ca href=\"https://grist.org/food/what-happened-to-americas-black-farmers/\">925,000 farms\u003c/a>, or 14 percent of the farms in the U.S. at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, the promise didn’t last. Over time, millions of farmers, including 600,000 Blacks, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/african-americans-have-lost-acres/\">lost their farms\u003c/a>—often because they lacked legal deeds to the land. By 1975, just 45,000 Black-owned farms remained. The 2012 Census of Agriculture estimated that Black farmers now make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2012/Online_Resources/Highlights/Black_Farmers/Highlights_Black_Farmers.pdf\">less than 2 percent\u003c/a> of the nation’s farmers and 1 percent of rural landowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Penniman, the promised 40 acres and a mule would be worth $6.4 trillion collectively today. The call for reparations, and efforts like the map, are ways to help make Black farmers and their families whole. Penniman says her group used Google Maps to build the tool because “it’s simple to use and decentralized,” although she says she would love for “a techy person to take this over at some point and make the platform more sophisticated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process is simple: Farmers file an application and Soul Fire adds their information to the map. From there the farmer can go into the map and make changes and add information on his or her own farm or needs. “We found that the mapping was more visually engaging compared to using a spreadsheet. Everyone can edit their own pin on the map without a gatekeeper,” Penniman says of the farmers who apply to be a part of the project. To date, more than 53,000 people have visited the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The Birth of the Reparations Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The original idea to take on reparations came out of a conversation Penniman had with Viviana Moreno, a farmer from Chicago, at Soul Fire Farm’s Black and Latinx Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program. “We were all talking about two farms, Harmony Homestead and Wildseed, as examples of reparations and restoration, and she said we need more of this type of people-to-people giving,” Penniman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realities of being Black, Indigenous, and brown people in the United States means many of us have little to no access to land, [or] many of the resources needed to run a small vegetable farm sustainably,” Moreno says. “As we were discussing this, I asked Penniman ‘Why, if there are so many of us, don’t we create a sort of database that would feature all of our collective needs and projects?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman liked the idea, and she gathered with a group of Black and brown farmers to create the map over the next few months. As soon as it was up, the group sent invitations to all the farmer-alumni from the BLFI program, as well as to other Black, Indigenous, and brown farmers, asking them to add their projects to the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farms and projects currently listed on the map are broadly diverse: Farmers identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and multi-racial, hail from large cities and rural communities, and are seeking help getting started or expanding their work to reach more farmers and eaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=41.86956080000001%2C-88.16528319999998&z=18&mid=1YvB3PuH8jeR_yoFCLvrKOTQQ3p_5NmkK\">Catatumbo Cooperative Farm\u003c/a> is now listed on the reparations map, seeking funds to start farming land in rural Illinois. Moreno and her partners, Jazmin Martinez and Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Carrasco, are all queer, immigrant worker-owners.

Sherman’s \u003ca href=\"http://ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/after_slavery_educator/unit_three_documents/document_five\">Special Field Order No. 15\u003c/a>, created in January of 1865, and later approved by President Lincoln. By June of the same year, 40,000 freedmen had been settled on 400,000 acres of what was known as Sherman Land in the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money generated from farming that land gave Black families the opportunity to create financial mobility and economic security. By 1920, Black Americans owned \u003ca href=\"https://grist.org/food/what-happened-to-americas-black-farmers/\">925,000 farms\u003c/a>, or 14 percent of the farms in the U.S. at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, the promise didn’t last. Over time, millions of farmers, including 600,000 Blacks, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/african-americans-have-lost-acres/\">lost their farms\u003c/a>—often because they lacked legal deeds to the land. By 1975, just 45,000 Black-owned farms remained. The 2012 Census of Agriculture estimated that Black farmers now make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2012/Online_Resources/Highlights/Black_Farmers/Highlights_Black_Farmers.pdf\">less than 2 percent\u003c/a> of the nation’s farmers and 1 percent of rural landowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Penniman, the promised 40 acres and a mule would be worth $6.4 trillion collectively today. The call for reparations, and efforts like the map, are ways to help make Black farmers and their families whole. Penniman says her group used Google Maps to build the tool because “it’s simple to use and decentralized,” although she says she would love for “a techy person to take this over at some point and make the platform more sophisticated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process is simple: Farmers file an application and Soul Fire adds their information to the map. From there the farmer can go into the map and make changes and add information on his or her own farm or needs. “We found that the mapping was more visually engaging compared to using a spreadsheet. Everyone can edit their own pin on the map without a gatekeeper,” Penniman says of the farmers who apply to be a part of the project. To date, more than 53,000 people have visited the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The Birth of the Reparations Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The original idea to take on reparations came out of a conversation Penniman had with Viviana Moreno, a farmer from Chicago, at Soul Fire Farm’s Black and Latinx Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program. “We were all talking about two farms, Harmony Homestead and Wildseed, as examples of reparations and restoration, and she said we need more of this type of people-to-people giving,” Penniman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realities of being Black, Indigenous, and brown people in the United States means many of us have little to no access to land, [or] many of the resources needed to run a small vegetable farm sustainably,” Moreno says. “As we were discussing this, I asked Penniman ‘Why, if there are so many of us, don’t we create a sort of database that would feature all of our collective needs and projects?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman liked the idea, and she gathered with a group of Black and brown farmers to create the map over the next few months. As soon as it was up, the group sent invitations to all the farmer-alumni from the BLFI program, as well as to other Black, Indigenous, and brown farmers, asking them to add their projects to the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farms and projects currently listed on the map are broadly diverse: Farmers identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and multi-racial, hail from large cities and rural communities, and are seeking help getting started or expanding their work to reach more farmers and eaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=41.86956080000001%2C-88.16528319999998&z=18&mid=1YvB3PuH8jeR_yoFCLvrKOTQQ3p_5NmkK\">Catatumbo Cooperative Farm\u003c/a> is now listed on the reparations map, seeking funds to start farming land in rural Illinois.

Prasertong says that may be one reason why the vast majority of customers of color – African-Americans, Latinos and Asians – declined to sign up to receive the redistributed money made from charging whites the higher price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Feb. 28, the day the premise of the experiment was revealed in a\u003cem> Times-Picayune\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nola.com/dining/index.ssf/2018/02/new_orleans_race_experiment.html\">article\u003c/a>, 64 people had completed the survey, which included 32 whites, Prasertong says. Twenty-five white customers paid the extra $18, adding up to a pool of $450. Only six people of color had signed up for distributions, which they would split evenly among them, $75 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food stall – called \u003ca href=\"https://www.saartj.com/\">Saartj\u003c/a>, a reference to a 19th-century \u003ca href=\"http://www.sahistory.org.za/people/sara-saartjie-baartman\">black South African woman\u003c/a> infamously paraded as a \"freak show\" in Europe – will be open through Sunday, though the data collection part of the experiment is now over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this experiment focused on racial income disparity in New Orleans, the numbers when it comes to the racial wealth gap in America are even starker. White families accumulate more wealth more quickly than do families comprised of people of color. As NPR's Code Switch team \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/02/08/514105689/black-latino-two-parent-families-have-half-the-wealth-of-white-single-parents\">has reported\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In 2013, the median white family held 13 times as much net wealth as the median black family and 10 times as much wealth as the median Latino family, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons cited behind this gap, including slavery and institutional and governmental discrimination that excluded people of color from programs that helped Americans build wealth and pass it down through the generations. As Code Switch writes: \"Segregation and redlining by banks made it impossible for many black and Latino families to secure mortgages, for example. The GI Bill, which helped establish an American middle class by helping veterans pay for college and buy homes after World War II, mostly excluded people of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One goal of his experiment, says Wey, is to get people to think about how the racial wealth and income gaps affect their own lives, and also how they can as individuals be a force for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think of this as a systemic issue, like something that happens outside of ourselves, when in fact the aggregate sum of all of our actions and choices exacerbates or ameliorates the wealth gap,\" says Wey. That includes actions like \"where we choose to send our children to school, where we choose to buy a home and critically, how we choose to spend our money and where we choose to spend our money. \" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"To highlight racial income disparity, a chef in New Orleans opened a food stall, asking whites to pay $30 and people of color to pay $12 for the same meal.

Prasertong says that may be one reason why the vast majority of customers of color – African-Americans, Latinos and Asians – declined to sign up to receive the redistributed money made from charging whites the higher price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Feb. 28, the day the premise of the experiment was revealed in a\u003cem> Times-Picayune\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nola.com/dining/index.ssf/2018/02/new_orleans_race_experiment.html\">article\u003c/a>, 64 people had completed the survey, which included 32 whites, Prasertong says. Twenty-five white customers paid the extra $18, adding up to a pool of $450. Only six people of color had signed up for distributions, which they would split evenly among them, $75 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food stall – called \u003ca href=\"https://www.saartj.com/\">Saartj\u003c/a>, a reference to a 19th-century \u003ca href=\"http://www.sahistory.org.za/people/sara-saartjie-baartman\">black South African woman\u003c/a> infamously paraded as a \"freak show\" in Europe – will be open through Sunday, though the data collection part of the experiment is now over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this experiment focused on racial income disparity in New Orleans, the numbers when it comes to the racial wealth gap in America are even starker. White families accumulate more wealth more quickly than do families comprised of people of color. As NPR's Code Switch team \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/02/08/514105689/black-latino-two-parent-families-have-half-the-wealth-of-white-single-parents\">has reported\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In 2013, the median white family held 13 times as much net wealth as the median black family and 10 times as much wealth as the median Latino family, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons cited behind this gap, including slavery and institutional and governmental discrimination that excluded people of color from programs that helped Americans build wealth and pass it down through the generations. As Code Switch writes: \"Segregation and redlining by banks made it impossible for many black and Latino families to secure mortgages, for example. The GI Bill, which helped establish an American middle class by helping veterans pay for college and buy homes after World War II, mostly excluded people of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One goal of his experiment, says Wey, is to get people to think about how the racial wealth and income gaps affect their own lives, and also how they can as individuals be a force for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think of this as a systemic issue, like something that happens outside of ourselves, when in fact the aggregate sum of all of our actions and choices exacerbates or ameliorates the wealth gap,\" says Wey. That includes actions like \"where we choose to send our children to school, where we choose to buy a home and critically, how we choose to spend our money and where we choose to spend our money. \" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/125392/food-stall-serves-up-a-social-experiment-charge-white-customers-more-than-minorities","authors":["byline_bayareabites_125392"],"categories":["bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_358"],"tags":["bayareabites_965","bayareabites_11875","bayareabites_16066"],"featImg":"bayareabites_125393","label":"source_bayareabites_125392"},"bayareabites_107891":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_107891","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"107891","score":null,"sort":[1458664197000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"when-chefs-become-famous-cooking-other-cultures-food","title":"When Chefs Become Famous Cooking Other Cultures' Food","publishDate":1458664197,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>So you walk into the new Korean joint around the corner and discover that (gasp) the head chef is a white guy from Des Moines.

Trying to contain the controversy, Paula Deen Enterprises issued a statement Thursday that suggested Deen's use of the N-word occurred long ago — after all, she was born in Georgia in 1947, at a time when segregation was still the law of the land in the South. The company statement read in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"During a deposition where she swore to tell the truth, Ms. Deen recounted having used a racial epithet in the past, speaking largely about a time in American history which was quite different than today,\" the statement reads. \"[Paula] was born 60 years ago when America's South had schools that were segregated, different bathrooms, different restaurants and Americans rode in different parts of the bus.
