When it became harder and harder to keep hold of that land, June Provost and his wife, Angie, didn\u2019t know why \u2014 and then a phone call changed their understanding of everything. In the finale of \u201c1619,\u201d we hear the rest of June and Angie\u2019s story, and its echoes in a past case that led to the largest civil rights settlement in American history.\n\nGuests: June and Angie Provost; Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown, producers for \u201c1619\u201d; and Khalil Gibran Muhammad, a professor of history, race and public policy at Harvard University and the author of \u201cThe Condemnation of Blackness.\u201d\n\nBackground reading:\u201cThe number of black sugar-cane farmers in Louisiana is most likely in the single digits,\u201d Khalil Gibran Muhammad writes in his essay on the history of the American sugar industry. \u201cThey are the exceedingly rare exceptions to a system designed to codify black loss.\u201dThe \u201c1619\u201d audio series is part of The 1619 Project, a major initiative from The Times observing the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery.
