Reparations Now? | #BHeard Town Hall

Never fully exorcised, the ghost of America’s original sins haunts nearly every aspect of our nation’s soul. How can we process our past and tell a new narrative of a just America?

Can we put a price tag on the genocide of indigenous tribes? How do we, as a nation, make amends for the enslavement, lynching, Jim Crow laws, redlining, and mass incarceration experienced by African-Americans? Can these debts be paid?

In this #BHeard Town Hall we ask: is the time for reparations now?
