Hey yall. Tomorrow is Juneteenth, marking the day the last group of enslaved people were notified they were free. Tomorrow will also be the hearing of a very important bill. Thread: Everything you need to know about the fight for reparations. Please RT to boost.
Disclaimer: I would like to explicitly say that nothing, no amount of money, no amount of policy change will really atone for the trauma that my ancestors, enslaved Africans, had to endure, but rn the wage gap is so huge that it would take 200 years for us to catch
up. And at the end of the day, to survive. to thrive. You need money. You need safety and stability. You need an education. Black Americans deserve that. We deserve a fair chance to thrive in a country we built.
