Reparations as Restorative Justice Part 2
In this episode, Caine Jordan, Guy Emerson Mount, and David Johnson continue their provocative conversation about reparations. For them, there is no amount of monetary compensation that can repair the harm done to Black and African American communities in enslavement, Jim Crow and, more recently, as a result of mass incarceration. This is Part II of a two Part series on Reparations as Restorative Justice.
