Who is Owed Reparations and Why
William A. Darity, a professor at Duke University, along with co-author A. Kirsten Mullen, advocates for reparations for Black Americans. They argue that the U.S. government should pay $14 trillion in reparations to address the racial wealth gap1. Their book, titled “From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century,” proposes a system of reparations that primarily involves direct financial payments by the federal government to eligible Black Americans who had at least one ancestor enslaved in the United States. Darity and Mullen emphasize that systemic racism has placed Black Americans at a disadvantage in education, wages, homeownership, and generational wealth, making reparations a necessary step toward economic justice. The call for reparations aims to rectify historical wrongs and promote economic equality.
