We Must Have a Demand: Towards a Transformative, Black-Led Reparations Movement.
This Is Hell, Glen Ford, BAR executive editor
17 Apr 2019
šŸ–Øļø Print Article

Glen Ford explores the possibilities of reparations, and the limits of the Democratic party's racial politics - as 2020 presidential hopefuls advance insufficient reparations schemes to court Black voters, only a radical, Black-driven demand to redress the crimes of slavery can be acceptable, and it must come from Black people seeking justice, not politicians seeking votes.

Glen wrote the article "Reparations Means Global Social Transformation" for Black Agenda Report
