reparations about the restitution making amends for a wrong has been done. those making financial recitations or those payment and my argument is the jury been made to black americans to the 64 civil rights act and affirmative action through cultural reparation made to these programs. basically a free society can ago no further they might have been suffering through slavery.

>> there is no one today who is a slave. an apology for the japanese-americans and made a payment of $20000 each. the civil liberties act can 1998 with direct compensation.

i said in my book the act was a former reparations into his making amends for those suffering. >> earlier this week university of texas was on our program and the argument for financial operations, take a look at what he had to say. >> until 2020, many people didn't understand about slavery and the way in which black labor build wealth in the united states also buildup cameras. extraordinary books about this including harvard slavery

including empire cotton and ebony and ivy, so many interesting important books. the price. pound of flesh on racial slavery and so many others we think about slavery, centrist labor of black people who produces the wealth, who were used as mortgage securities, provide global investment where everything from harvard university to banks and businesses, black people, we created the first financial instruments that hedge funds and venture capital not just united states but across and around the world. this is proved with dreams of
