For those that didn't click through, the key points of reparations (not just a payment):
- Satisfaction: Acknowledging and truthfully addressing the historical injustices inflicted upon Black people and receiving an accepted response.
- Compensation: Providing monetary restitution for economic losses stemming from these harms.
- Restitution: Restoring freedom, reuniting families and recognizing the humanity, identity and culture of Black people.
- Rehabilitation: Offering care and support for healing from the trauma caused by these injustices.
- Cessation and Non-repetition: Transforming systems and structures to prevent the recurrence of such harms.
