In this episode of Conversation Reparations, host Jumoke Ifetayo speaks with entrepreneur Robert L. Johnson, the founder of BET, who recently proposed a 14 trillion dollar reparations package for African-Americans impacted by the legacy of slavery.

The economic chasm of wealth and income inequality between Black and White America was, without question, derived from slavery and its aftermath. It is a visible stain on this nation’s economic and social mobility. Reparations, in the form of monetary recompense for damages, is not new in this country or the world. It should be completely understood in a nation built on a foundation of capitalism that, no one should be deprived of the benefits of their labor without due process of law. Therefore, the purpose of reparations, as presented here, is to acknowledge to 40 million Black Americans, the decedents of slaves, that you are owed damages for the evil that was visited on your ancestors.
