STREET BEAT: ‘What reparations should the descendants of slaves receive?’

Robert Hill

“I am a version of their reparations. I’m here to serve as a reminder of what they went through so I could follow my dreams and make dreams possible for the next person.”
Jecoby Carter
Los Angeles
“We need a hard asset like land. That’s where Black people can start to find equity.”
Alexander Hammond
Los Angeles
“Financial and land reparations and rest. … Black people have had to overcompensate and overwork themselves in ways that others with a head start have not.”
Danielle Nelson-Das
Los Angeles
“Creating more museums or institutions where we can learn from what happened so it doesn’t happen again.”
