Manage episode 326220700 series 2946613
In 1982, the African People’s Socialist Party convened the first international tribunal on reparations in Brooklyn, New York. The verdict is that Africans in the US are owed no less than 14 trillion dollars in damages, or about one million dollars per family. The African People’s Socialist Party aimed to make reparations a household word by taking it out of the hands of the legislative and legal sector and giving it to the African working class. It has succeeded.
Black Power Talks salutes the 40th anniversary of the Reparations Tribunal. Throughout 2022, we will be presenting a series of episodes that explore the issue of reparations from an African Internationalist perspective.
This episode is part one in that series. It is entitle "Make Wall Street Pay Reparations" and features excerpts from a March 20, 2022 panel by the same name.
