In a remote area of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, a controversial community called "Return to the Land" is being developed exclusively for white residents. Founded by Eric Orwoll and Peter Csere, the community conducts rigorous screenings for applicants, including interviews and background checks, based on ancestral heritage. They believe they qualify for legal exemptions to restrict housing by race. Experts warn this may violate federal housing discrimination laws, and an investigation by the Arkansas attorney general is underway. Pat Johnson, who went to a segregated school nearby in the 1940s can't believe how open the community is about its project. DW’s Ines Pohl and Nils Hünerfürst brought this story from Arkansas.
