Reconciling Racism: The Case for Reparations

Reconciling Racism: The Case for Reparations

This week on the 100th Anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 we will discuss the ongoing attempts to ignore the painful history of systemic racism in America. Why the “Red Summer” a period of brutal, racially motivated violence in America has been largely forgotten and the need for America to redress the economic and emotional toll of these racist attacks via the payment of Reparations to the families and communities destroyed by this racial cleansing.

We will also look at the GOP’s attempt at ignoring another violent and painful chapter in our more recent history as Republican Senators led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, blocked the establishment of a commission to review the 1/6 Capitol Insurrection and violent coup attempt by Trump loyalists who attacked our Capitol spurred on by Trump’s “Big Lie.”
