Tornado Alley (PROG)

[StephanieVanbryce]

I want to post this spectacular essay on The Case for Reparations

Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal.
Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.
