History : Reparations Are Rare in America, but They Have Been Paid Before

Reparations Are Rare in America, but They Have Been Paid Before

Lawmakers in Washington are scheduled to address reparations for slavery for the first time in more than 10 years on Wednesday. A House Judiciary subcommittee plans to discuss a bill to create a commission that would make recommendations concerning “any form of apology and compensation” to descendants of enslaved African-Americans. Here is a look at what happened in those cases, and some of the lessons that can be drawn from them. There is no direct template for reparations of that kind, but Americans have received compensation for historical injustices before.



Native Americans did not get full control of money awarded to them.

Some victims of forced sterilizations were left out.

Defining the wrong done to Japanese-Americans was fairly straightforward.

Counseling and education was part of making amends for police abuses in Chicago.

An apology for a Florida massacre mattered, but the money didn’t go far.

Georgetown University students are trying to repay a big debt with a small tuition increase.

This hearing actually occured today. I wasn't able to watch the live coverage. There's more details within the article. However I'm sure that nobody here has the reading comprehension of a grad student in order to understand the content of this issue.

The best reparation for the US would be to send you back to Africa.
