Think about how Black Americans were treated in the 20th century.
Their land was taken.
They were lynched.
So part of what the commission is going to do is unearth all of those stories and give all Americans an opportunity to talk about the harm that the government has inflicted upon them and how the government needs to remedy it.
You know, yes and no.
If I had a dollar amount, I'd say it because I'm not afraid of the truth.
But no one, I mean no one, has done an accurate assessment of what happened to Black Americans from the day after the 13th Amendment was enacted through 2026.
Nobody.
Yes.
So when I figured out what really happened to Black Americans after the 13th Amendment freed all the enslaved people is no matter where we went, we had targets on our backs.
And reading about these stories was so painful and so hard that I literally had to get up and walk away.
And at one point, I thought, I can't finish this book.
And then it's if my 94-year-old mother slapped me and said, we lived it.
You get to write about it.
And that's what got me back to the book and actually has me excited about a book called Getting to Reparations in 2026.
Thank you so much for having me.
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.
