Inequity In Equity: The Tragedy Of Tenancy In Common For Heirs' Property Onwers Facing Partition In Equity, Faith R. Rivers
Inequity In Equity: The Tragedy Of Tenancy In Common For Heirs' Property Onwers Facing Partition In Equity, Faith R. Rivers
Faith R Rivers
This article considers the impact of the default intestacy estate of tenancy in common on African American heirs’ property. This piece considers the evolution of the heirs' property conundrum in the Lowcountry of South Carolina – the birthplace of the dream of African-American land ownership – and explores the implications of this form of property ownership on tenants in common facing partition in courts of equity, particularly in developing Sunbelt communities. Comprehensive property law reform is critically needed. I propose a new legal framework to better regulate the externalities that plague the commons of heirs’ property and achieve more equitable …

Time To Step Up: Modeling The African American Ethnivestor For Self Help Entrepreneurship In Urban America, Roger M. Groves
Roger M. Groves
Almost $6 billion in taxes paid by the American people have been rather ubiquitously placed in the hands of a federal subsidy program for investors in low income communities. The subsidy is in the form of a tax credit. The program is entitled the New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) initiative. Under the program, the tax credit is used to lure investors to provide equity capital into low income areas, urban and/or rural (i.e. a new market for equity funding). According to my companion law review article (Florida Tax Review, Spring, 2007; The Florida Tax Review was ranked 1st among tax …

Scholars describe the one-drop rule--the idea that any African ancestry makes a person black--as the American regime of race. While accounts of when the rule emerged vary widely, ranging from the 1660s to the 1920s, most legal scholars have assumed that once established, the rule created a bright line that people were bound to follow. This Article reconstructs the one-drop rule's meaning and purpose from 1600 to 1860, setting it within the context of racial migration, the continual process by which people of African descent assimilated into white communities. While ideologies of blood-borne racial difference predate Jamestown, the rhetoric of …
