40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks is the production company of noted African American filmmaker Spike Lee (born 1957). Lee chose to name his production company after something that African Americans felt that they had been promised, " Forty acres and a mule", at the close of the American Civil War, which was presumably to be derived from lands and livestock confiscated from plantation owners who had supported the Confederacy. In history, President Andrew Johnson vetoed an act of Congress providing for such; Lee chose the name in part to memorialize a society that is, in his opinion, rife with broken broken promises to blacks.
