Description: It's been 150 years since the Emancipation Proclamation outlawed slavery. Why haven't blacks come further? Did blacks just make bad choices? Or did laws and policies hinder their progress and undercut their achievements? The Wheat Money is the true story of two families; one white, the other black. It's the story of how one family was lifted up, while the other was held down. In 2005, the two families merged through marriage and a mixed race child was born. Will that child, as she grows up, want to know why
