Rarely does a movement get stronger after a setback, but that's exactly what's happening w/the #ReparationsMovement here in California. I see people/orgs who I know had beef put that aside and start working together again. Our God/Ancestors work in mysterious ways🙏🏿 @cjecofficial
Newspapers published during the era of the American Revolution contributed to the perpetuation of slavery. Advertised 250 years ago today: “a very valuable NEGRO MAN ... for Sale ... can saw at the Whipsaw very well." (Virginia Gazette [Purdie & Dixon] 11/25/1773)
This is sad and lazy. NO leader in the #reparationsmovement should be allowed to avoid important reparations questions! He puts himself out to be a pro black reparations expert for crying out loud! He could at the least dance around the question!
