Restitution
African American people have been through a lot and it shows throughout past. I don’t think a majority of the 21st century African Americans believe that we need a reparations or restitution for our beloved ancestors and I don’t think that most of them that this situation has been introduced many times. We study our history every year we especially learn it from our books. Generation after Generation after Generation will know their past too.

Ninety years of Jim Crow, sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.” (COATES) Reparations should also be giving to the Native Americans and give back their land. Plus to give it to the others minorities that they mistreated like the Mexicans, Chinese for the concentration camps and etc. At the end of the day it’s about power and until the black people don’t get to the same level of power like the white people, we will not be the
