August Wilson, the African American playwright best captured the historical impact of land loss on African Americans in his statement: 
"We were a land based agrarian people from Africa. We were uprooted from Africa and we spent 200 years developing our culture as black Americans and then we left the South. We uprooted ourselves and attempted to transplant this culture to the pavements of the industrialized North. It was a transplant that didn’t take. I think if we had stayed in the South we would have been a stronger people and because the connection between the South of the 20s, 30s, and 40s has been broken, it’s very difficult to understand who we are.”
We can learn a lot from trees: they're always grounded but never stop reaching heavenward.   Everett Mamor
