Reparations For African Americans: Should It Be Paid In Money, Land, or Education?

While some have given up on the idea of compensation paid to African Americansnfor the damage done during slavery, there are a vast number who are still working on the proposition and are certain that demands will eventually be met for some type of payment for the decendant of slaves. An upcoming conference will address the issues - not so much should it be done, that's a foregone conclusion. The answer is without a doubt YES. The question now is HOW? The answer may determine how quickly such a plan is expedited. What would really be more beneficial? A check for a certain amount of money, to be used to pay bills, buy a house, invest in a business, or pay for education? The money would be circulated back into the economy, so it wouldn't really result in any major financial losses to the government. Or should land be awarded to those who can document that their ancestors worked the land for free for someone else and therefore deserve property that they own outright, either to build on, plant on, or turn into a parking lot?  Or should the government provide free secondary education, and even debt forgiveness for any student loans incurred by the decendent of slaves? What do you think reparations should look like? Our guest, Diana Kimble, National Co-Chair for NCOBRA (National Coalition Of Blacks for Reparations In America) discusses the upcoming Conference on Reparations June 23-26, Thursday through Sunday, in Miami Florida.
