Reparations describe a system of redress for grave injustices.
Examples of Reparations
Indigenous Peoples
Indigenous Peoples in the so-called United States have received land and billions of dollars for various benefits and programs for being forcibly exiled from their lands. [1]
Black populations
Black people have not received reparations for state-sanctioned racial discrimination, while slavery afforded some white families the ability to accumulate tremendous wealth. Today, racial discrimination, intergenerational trauma and a racial wealth gap continue to exist. The case for reparations can be made on economic, social, and moral grounds.
