The Reparations Movement

The Reparations Movement advocates for compensating marginalized communities, especially Black Americans, for historical injustices like slavery, segregation, and ongoing racial discrimination. It aims to address economic disparities and systemic inequities caused by these injustices through financial reparations, policy changes, or community investments. The movement recognizes that past harms have lasting effects on opportunities and wealth, and seeks to provide redress to promote equity and justice in society. While proposals vary, the core goal is to acknowledge and repair the long-term impacts of racial oppression.
