Something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea. We have tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting the civil war, bypassing landmark civil rights legislation. We have elected an africanamerican president also amy as Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell dismisses growing calls for the u. S. To pay reparations for slavery, the household of historic hearing on reparations to mark the anniversary of juneteenth. Speakers included the acclaimed writer Tanehisi Coates. Enslavement reigned for 250 years on these shores. When it ended, this country could have extended its hollow principles regardless of color. But america had other principles in mind. And so for a century after the civil war, black people were subjected to a Relentless Campaign of terror, a campaign that extended well into the lifetime of majority leader mcconnell. Amy Tanehisi Coates will join us today for the hour. All that and more, coming up. Welco
