The Funeral Parlor Case: Race, Exploitation, and Compensation
This chapter discusses a legal case involving funeral parlors and contracts, but it becomes intertwined with issues of race. It explores the exploitation and double vulnerability of black church members who were hired to sell overpriced funeral services within their own community. The chapter also raises questions about compensation and racial discrimination, drawing parallels to Ta-Nehisi Coates's essay, 'The Case for Reparations'.
