University reparations for slave money

mardi 27 août 2019 à 02:00

Glasgow University will dedicate 20 million pounds to research on development, in conjunction with a university in Jamaica, as reparations for donated money obtained from slavery.

I support reparations for slavery (and, in the US, for the century-long subsequent legal discrimination against blacks). The reparations should be designed to correct the self-perpetuating damage that is now inflicted on the descendants of those who were legally discriminated against

I don't know what would be effective at making a long-term change, but I think it needs to be done at the level of society, not just by universities.
