After reading this article, it is clear to me that this committee has developed itself of members from different parts of the world to establish reparations for people of African decent. They have come together to rebuild their perspective countries and help them to re-establish their economies on a global scale. Reparations would not only help these countries to rebuild themselves but encourage who took away the resources and made it extremely difficult for people of African decent to thrive in the world. Based off of these demands we can see many similarities between Africa and people of African decent that live in the United States. Specifically when it comes to Africans becoming enslaved and embarking on the Middle Passage. As well as African-Americans facing discrimination and racism due to Jim Crow Laws, destruction of thriving communities such as Tulsa and Rosewood. These people have historically been disenfranchised and taken advantage of. Therefore, reparations should be necessary as well as acknowledgment for the atrocities that these respective people have to overcome.
