Should the U.S. Congress study the lasting impact
of slavery and the question of reparations?

Even though we were sold by our African kings — and others — when we got over here they doubled it.

No. We should focus on the current issues instead of creating new ones.

If we can bail out the banks, we can study reparations.

I do, and I believe it would help future generations. By studying the history of American slavery, it would allow us to avoid future mistakes.

Kim Moss

Yes, I do. But they should concentrate not just on money but how we can find ways to make our children’s futures solvent.

It has been studied and re-studied. We are due, but I will never see it. Maybe my grandchildren.
