As I looked more into this event, couldn't a correlation be made as to why the slaves should have received reparations as well?

I have heard about "40 Acres and a Mule" but have never really read into what did or did not happened with that... Can anyone here shed any light on that?

I am curious about the reparations that was issued in response to the holocaust, vs the world war 2 USA Japanese internment camps, vs the native american displacement, vs the usa slave trade, etc.....

I am noticing more stories in the news regarding calls for reparations for the slave trade. Interesting to see what comes from all this new awareness. The thing is, that the Slave Trade and what was done to the Native Americans was so massive, devastating and far reaching, how could that ever be "made right"??

Here is one of the recent articles regarding the slave trade reparations that bring up some valid points regarding generational wealth.

""Very few Americans have created all of their wealth on their own; it's passed down through generations and then built upon," Hannah-Jones says. "Black Americans never really had a chance to do that.""
