Should America Pay? by Raymond A. Winbush

Reparations advocates in the United States have uplifted the importance of specifically addressing the needs of Descendants of Africans Enslaved in the United States (DAEUS) – while also collaborating with and understanding the interconnected reparative needs of the African Diaspora. Reparations is a key issue across the Pan African World and have advanced through the solidarity of African descendants living in various countries.

True reparations activists do not promote nativist, birtherism, or anti-immigrant narratives. Reparations are both a United States and Pan Africanist issue.The concept of full repair in discussions of reparations means to address the economic, educational, health, and healing needs of Black communities. Real reparations must encompass a holistic approach that goes beyond focusing entirely on cash-payouts. The purpose of reparations is “full repair” to the lives and future of descendants of Africans that were enslaved in the United States (DAEUS).NBCI Trust is working to provide trustworthy information and clarity surrounding the reparations issue. Consequently, there are many misconceptions about the meaning and purpose of reparations.

However, bad actors used the issue of reparations to weaken activist efforts and spread disinformation in attempts to suppress Black voters during the 2020 elections. Reparations is an important issue that is currently at the forefront of discussions concerning reparative justice for Black communities.
