Reparations go beyond closing an economic divide; done well, they close a chapter of American history. They go further than ending an evil, which generations before us did. It is our job now to make restitution for the evil, in economic terms where the wound still festers.

We support your moral call for America to pay restitution for gross human rights violation of Afrodescendants in America. Your message should also state that it's Afrodescendant people who ultimately decide what form damages take.
