  William Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen confront these injustices head-on and make the most comprehensive case to date for economic reparations for U.S. descendants of slavery. Using innovative methods that link monetary values to historical wrongs, Darity and Mullen assess the literal and figurative costs of justice denied in the 155 years since the end of the Civil War. The authors present a detailed roadmap for an effective reparations program, including a substantial payment to each documented U.S. black descendant of slavery.
• The Tulsa Massacre: Is Racial Justice Possible 100 Years Later?
  Michael Blanding, 02 Mar 2021
  A new Harvard Business School case by Mihir Desai examines the Tulsa Massacre of 1921, and asks difficult questions about what reparations America owes to its Black citizens.
  “The Tulsa Massacre and the Call for Reparations” grapples with the question of how justice might be done for victims of the massacre a century after it occurred—as well as the larger question of what reparations the United States owes to its African American citizens for centuries of slavery and discrimination.
