A Boston grassroots organization convened a public gathering in Roxbury to delve into the pressing issue of reparations for Black Americans within the city.
The Boston People’s Reparations Commission orchestrated the event at the Bolling Building in Nubian Square, drawing around 200 attendees from the African American community. During the meeting, participants shared their perspectives on what reparations encompass beyond just financial compensation.
“Reparations is cash. It’s land. It’s education. It’s these other functions that are included. It’s not just money,” remarked Boston resident Nick Johnson, echoing sentiments shared by many present.
