GETTING TO REPARATIONS
How Building a Different America Requires A Reckoning With Our Past
GETTING TO REPARATIONS makes the case that reparations for Black Americans are long overdue and unearths several moments in U.S. history when there was monetary compensation for hardship and loss of life. When a group of Italian immigrants were lynched in the 19th century, the U.S. government compensated the Italian government for their deaths. Reparations were paid to slave owners for the loss of their human property. So, Brown asks, why the reticence to compensate Black Americans? Brown makes the case for reparations and lays out a pathway to get there.
