In Episode 7, we discuss the complex issue of reparations for Black Americans. We talk about the imprint slavery has on life in America today, including homeownership, generational wealth, education, health, and much more. We look at 40 acres and a mule, the historical precedent for reparations, how reparations could be quantified, and the many differing opinions on the topic.
