From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century by William A Darity and A Kirsten Mullen
Chidimma read this book in Fall 2020 and recommends EVERYONE read it. It is a well written and well researched historical and economic manual that helps us connect the dots from where we were in this country to where we are currently. She actually had an opportunity to speak directly with the authors during a virtual event with the University of Michigan School of Social Work.
From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century debunks the BS “bootstraps” narrative that many have adopted in the US and actually bolsters the arguments of those of us who are more critical of this country and invested in how we can make things more equitable and inclusive.
