Listen "The Battle for Reparations: Behind America’s Generational Controversy"
Episode Synopsis
Since the Emancipation Proclamation, America has struggled to reckon with its history of enslaving Africans.
Today, the legacy of slavery impacts 57 percent of Black Americans, according to Pew Research Center.
But that legacy is multifaceted and ranges from economic and educational inequality to redlining to the justice system.
For some, they believe it’s past time America addressed these harms through reparations. But for others, the idea is so controversial, so incomprehensible, that it’s an impossible venture.
Guests
Rep. Al Green (D-TX)
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO)
Charles Fain Lehman, Fellow, The Manhattan Institute
Robin Rue Simmons, Executive Director, First Repair
