    Reactions to the Reparations Discussions

    I believe that at some point in my lifetime reparations to ADOS will be made. In what form they are made, I'm unsure of. I hope the ADOS in Congress and allies continue to push for what is owed to us by the government & private entities. However, this will be an uphill battle due to...

    Georgetown University students vote to give descendants of slaves reparations...somewhat

    They basically want to allow a $27.20 per semester fee charged to every student(yes, including on Black ADOS students) and the funds go to some bureaucratic board(ie not cutting a check or granting land to those descendants). Georgetown's endowment would remain untouched. If this is just a...
