The Case for Reparations

Book • 2014
In this influential article, Ta-Nehisi Coates makes a compelling case for reparations to African Americans, highlighting the long-lasting effects of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and housing discrimination.

He argues that reparations are necessary to address the wealth gap, the loss of free will and family destruction imposed on slaves, and to provide a form of spiritual closure for the nation.

Coates draws on historical examples, including the reparations paid by Germany to Israel after the Holocaust, and suggests a national discussion and policy initiatives to address these historical injustices.
