"Don't let the white man take the house." I tell you what, I knew about redlining, but I knew *nothing* about heir property, let alone its devastating impact on Black involuntary landloss (on a scale of billions of dollars). The core problem the Solomons have, setting aside the unexpected death of the patriarch, followed by the notice to vacate the family home of 200 years, is that all 4 sibs and the one more that is practically family even if not blood, they're each doing things individually instead of working together.
It took me a bit to catch and follow all the PoVs, but this is a story that simply could not be told from just one lens. If you've ever wondered what the heck your sibling is thinking in a given family crisis, because *clearly* your method and reasoning is the only practical response (guilty!), this is one for you.
