Reparations are necessary to address the unhealed economic harm and structural inequality caused by slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism.

“If you're going to look at the black and white wealth gap in in the UK, in the Caribbean, in the world, it is impossible to not trace that directly to slavery.”

“slave labor and Cotton Were a relatively small part of the economy and that's that is just the facts just the facts which is why after the Civil War and after the abolition of slavery our economy took off”
