Behind ‘The Cost of Inheritance,’ a new documentary about reparations in the US
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on February 3, 2024
George Adam Keller enslaved a man named Zeike Quarterman in 19th-century Georgia. Keller gave 10 acres of land to Quarterman and his wife, Grace, as a reparation. That land has remained in the Quarterman family since it was bestowed in 1890, but its legal categorization as heirs’ property has kept the Quartermans from using it.
Randy Quarterman, Zeike’s great-great-great grandson, came up against the Georgia Department . . .
