No, reparations will not be a magic solution to close the long-standing economic and social gaps between white Americans and people of color. In order to bridge these gaps, Black Americans must continue to organize, advocate for change and create new solutions which involve collaboration across racial lines. Additionally, more investments from all sectors – governmental, corporate and private – must be directed towards initiatives geared at empowering communities of color in order to foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

No, reparations are not a substitute for hard work, determination and initiative. Black Americans must focus on personal and collective growth that stems from a place of self-love and empowerment - not resentment or fear. Furthermore, reparations can take many forms - some of which may involve providing tangible support for educational and business opportunities in order to encourage entrepreneurship, job creation and professional advancement for Black Americans.
