African American Reparations is a series of white papers intended to present an argument that warrants a response from the American people and, more significantly, to allow the American people to weigh in on how the country should proceed. It provides a detailed plan for establishing a constitutional law and enacting reparations as a congressional act.
Despite the end of the American Slave Period, descendants of enslaved Africans continue to be one of the most marginalized and underrepresented populations in the United States, ranking last in terms of wealth and education. Even today, most black inhabitants reside in metropolitan settings where land and properties are mainly owned by other groups. This book introduces the African American Reparations Act of 2030. Who will receive the restitution? How will it become law and then be implemented? African American Reparations expertly addresses these issues, offering solutions to achieving consensus within the U.S. government by engaging the American people in a national dialogue.
The book is appropriate for all Americans who seek to solve inequalities between communities of color and poor whites. It will raise the awareness of the American people by encouraging open and frank debates about the effects of slavery and centuries of racial discrimination against African Americans.
