TED Talks Daily

A blueprint for reparations in the US | William "Sandy" Darity

Wed, 15 Jul 2020

Description

With clarity and insight, economist and author William "Sandy" Darity discusses how the grievous injustice of slavery in the US led to the immense wealth gap that currently exists between Black and white Americans. He explains how reparations for descendants of enslaved people would work -- and why it's necessary that the US engage in this act of compensation and redemption to make progress towards true equality. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED's current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers, was recorded June 30, 2020.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
