The Role Of Slavery Reparations In The United States

Reparations have been used before in many situations, and have both worked and failed. These slavery reparations should take a social policies form. If someone were to give individual checks to all the descendants of slaves there would be many issues, how would they find all the descendants of the millions of slaves born and brought into the United States , and where would the money needed come from? The most effective way is a “ financial reparation should be paid not to individuals but lumped together into a fund dedicated to improving the lives of African Americans today”. They should do this because they do not know what these individuals will spend the money on and if the goal is to help them, the most effective way is to have a fund.
