GREENFIELD In consideration of its support for racial reparations, members of the local Racial Justice Rising group tuned in to a Zoom discussion on Sunday about the topic, conducted by the Grassroots Reparations Campaign, an organization with members in different parts of the country.
The basic idea of reparations is that Black people are at a social disadvantage as a result of the history of slavery and racism and that the way to repair that damage would be to acknowledge it through laws and government policies. There are different views on what exactly those laws and policies should do.
