Reparations, H.R. 40 and the Path Forward

During slavery, Black people were forced to labor for the enrichment of America. After slavery, the emancipated suffered violent repression and exploitation under Jim Crow laws and black codes in the South and de facto segregation across the nation. H.R. 40 would establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery, its legacy, and make recommendations to Congress for reparations, beginning a process of repairing and restoring after centuries of enslavement. Congress must pass H.R. 40.

 

The time is now. Send a message to your members of Congress urging them to support H.R. 40.
