What Is Racially Motivated Eminent Domain and How Has It Affected Black Families? Racially motivated eminent domain refers to the government practice of condemning and seizing private property while using a false or pretextual “public use” reason in order to remove people of a particular race. It works by combining the legal power of eminent domain with discriminatory intent: officials claim they need land for a road, park, or public project, but in reality the main goal is to dispossess a targeted racial group, often under pressure from local residents or white supremacist groups.

What Was the Business Plot Against FDR? The Business Plot was an alleged 1933 conspiracy by a small group of wealthy American businessmen to organize a fascist-style veterans movement, overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and install retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler in a powerful new role while Roosevelt remained as a figurehead. The plot became public in 1934 when Butler testified under oath before a special House committee that a Wall Street bond salesman had tried to recruit him to lead an army of up to 500,000 veterans in a march on Washington.
