Black Man Island: The Case for Reparations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578734576)

In Black Man Island, the author explores the issue of reparations. Why were reparations denied ex-slaves in 1865 by the government? Rather the day slavery ended segregation became the new norm for Blacks. Keep them separate, put them on an island. Through the years reparations have been vaguely talked about and skirted around as if not necessary. Are reparations needed? Today the conditions of Black communities makes plain something is needed. Black Man Island contends the violence, lack of education, poor medical care, lack of good paying jobs are symptoms of the dire need for reparations. Will America answer the call or will reparations continue to be the can kicked down the road?
