ENSEMBLE PI: REPARATIONS NOW!

“Reparations is a litmus test for whether a person is being a racist or anti-racist when it comes to one of the most damaging racial inequities of our time, of all American time—the racial wealth gap. To oppose reparations is to be racist. To support reparations is to be anti-racist.”—Ibram X. Xendi, The Atlantic, 2019
