Thanks so much for having me.
Yes, I came to this as a skeptic, as, oh, it'll never happen.
Why are we even talking about this?
And then one day, one of my former Emory colleagues mentioned that we, the federal government, paid reparations to Italy for Italians lynched in Louisiana.
And I said, wait a minute.
We've paid reparations for lynching, but not Black Americans.
And she said, that's right.
And that's when I started digging.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
So let me tell you why I'm excited about getting this book out now.
Republicans control the presidency, the House and the Senate.
They got elected based on identity politics.
As a result, they're going to double and triple down and do bad things.
So I believe white Americans of goodwill, we're seeing it in Minnesota, see we do not live in a post-racial society, right?
Learning the history of what happened to black Americans after slavery ended is what we need to be talking about now.
Yes, I have a plan for that, right?
So we were able to move people just like myself who started as skeptics or even opponents of reparations to support when two things happened.
When we showed them the four prior examples where the federal government paid reparations...
One, white enslavers got money from the federal government for freed slaves in the District of Columbia.
Again, the Italy reparations case.
