Mark Lipman, Helen S. Cohen Director, Producer Arc of Justice traces the remarkable journey of New Communities, Inc. (NCI), a story of racial justice, community development, and perseverance in the face of enormous obstacles. NCI was created in 1969 by leaders of the Civil Rights Movement in southwest Georgia to help secure economic independence for African American families. For fifteen years, NCI cooperatively farmed nearly 6000 acres of land, the largest African American landhold in the country, but racist opposition prevented them from implementing plans to create 500 affordable homes as part of the community land trust.
