As global crises and US domestic reckonings intensify, the New York Community Commission on Reparations Remedies met this week at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, drawing attention to the urgent need to reimagine repair—not merely as restitution, but as a process of decolonization and rehumanization in a fractured United States and world. Reparations is not simply (or even primarily) about monetary compensation, but about dismantling systems of harm and colonization that still define the American state and the world system out of which it emerged and which it anchors.
Literal and figurative disasters persist around the globe. Forces in the US intensify the ongoing Cold Civil War—fractured by ideological extremism, geopolitical escalations like Israel’s bombing of Iran and China’s projection of its Navy Aircraft Carriers into the Pacific, and performative nationalism seen in spectacles like the Trump Army Parade in Washington, DC, among others.
But resistance rises. Federal District Court Judge Charles Breyer’s ruling against the federalization of the California National Guard by the Trump Administration and thousands of “No More Kings” rallies across the country present formal and organic resistance in a darkening US political landscape. The 100th anniversary of the Schomburg Center gives us a moments to reinforce the fact that we must search our collective memory in order to strengthen our vision of a different country and make better decisions for how to engage politically.
