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

“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.”
