Left of Black | Making Reparations A Reality with A. Kirsten Mullen and Dr. William "Sandy" Darity

Learn more about Left of Black here: https://fhi.duke.edu/programs/left-black Reparations– a long contested topic that has recently gotten a resurgence in our public discourse as our nation grapples with the ongoing legacy of white supremacy and systemic racism. More scholars and activists are making the case for the necessity of reparations, not just for reconciliation from the evils of American slavery and Jim Crow that followed soon after, but to finally have a whole nation by ending the equity gap that specifically plagues the African American community. But what is the legacy behind this argument? Dr. Mark Anthony Neal is joined by ‪@dukeuniversity‬ Prof. William "Sandy" Darity and co-author A. Kirsten Mullen as they discuss their newest book, "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century," published by ‪@uncchapelhill‬ Press.
