Social Justice Saturday: Reparations and the Racial Wealth Gap

There are many perspectives on Reparations and what that means for ending the Racial Wealth Gap. Here is one definition to consider::

"So when I say we need to reimagine reparations, I don't mean transferring wealth from one group to another, something critics are quick to decry as fundamentally unfair and backward-looking.

I mean repairing American systems to eliminate the built-in racism that perpetuates injustices like the racial wealth gap, and in the process, making those systems work better for all of us."

 From April 24, 2022 “We can solve the racial wealth gap.”
