What We Are Reading Today: Getting to Reparations by Dorothy A. Brown

Dorothy A. Brown’s “Getting to Reparations” makes a logical and necessary case for reparations to atone for America’s original sin of slavery. It lays out a path as to how this might be achieved, built on the frameworks used throughout US history by the government to pay restitution. The idea of reparations is not a new or original one; it is one that is baked into American history and it is now time to do the same for America’s Black population.
