Reparations!

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

In Reparations! political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson examines the many facets of the raging debate over reparations. He explores the history of reparations proposals. He compares reparations paid to other groups for injustices including Germany's reparations payout to Holocaust survivors to the demand for slavery reparations.

He assesses the arguments for and against reparations and why it has become such a racially polarizing issue. He asks can you put a price tag on slavery reparations and what is that price to be made for slavery's two-century horror. A huge part of the calamitous legacy is the continuing towering economic and racial inequities Hutchinson says that whether one backs or opposes reparations it's an issue that will continue to ignite prickly passions within and without America's racial fault lines.
