It's all the same. I want to say. I want
to say, I've never been the show since doing a
big course.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
For ten years.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Give ten years to praise.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
I say give it bread because ten years is a
lot to waste, and I don't want to waste full time,
So grateful thoughts and prayers can lock up the ball water.
I remember him on that Coffee show growing up, watching
him in college and the Huxtable Family, and fifty four
years old is too young. I wish they could be

(08:33):
an apparatus created so you can just put it on
your nose the same way you put on shades.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Aren't snorting?

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Advice that when you go swimming, if you get pulled
out into the water, at least you can breathe while
you're in the water. I know they have deep diving chanks,
but you can go deep diving in the ocean and
you can breathe underwater. You know, we have life jackets.
We tell everyone wear a lifejacket. That's what the lifeguard.
I say, wear a lifejacket whenever you are by the
pool or up by the ocean. They'd be great if

(09:03):
they created some apparatus that if you spill your going
out too deep, you just breathe through it. They have to,
I know they haven't because people snorkel all the time.
Why not make that a part of the life jackets
so that way we've been saying so many more lives
that to me seems like it's the right thing to do.
Why have a life jacket if you don't have a

(09:25):
way to breathe if you get sucked underwater, are pulled
out in the water.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
It just seems like it'd be a natural thing to do.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
For all the engineers and life saving equipment that they have,
you would think some tep of breathing apparatus that could
at least give you another ten minutes of airs if
you're in the water, and that would stop a lot
of drownings. It really was with lots of prayers, are
with the love Tom Warner family. It's a young man
had a bright future. That's why they say every day

(09:55):
is a gift. You got to open it every day
and be careful out there on the water. I know
a lot of people get in the boat and the
go out boating, they go fishing, and they I don't
need to let judget yes you do. You become disoriented
when you hit freezing water, or you get sucked in
the water and the water gets in your nose.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Even in a in a swimming pool, you have that
same experiment. It just chooks you up.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
It's happened to me a couple of times. You get
choked up when you get water that goes through your
nose and you can't breathe in your panic. In a
pool you can usually stand up or at least maybe
it's five for ten big deep, you can go to
the bottom and put yourself up again.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
And the olsen you can't do that.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
So I hope they have something by breathing apparatus that
goes with a life. Second, some people in those situations
they can survive. That's my struit and pick it with
it and I do with this family adilences and just thinking.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
About the good things at fish.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
At the same time, I want to say, we have
a Vetterments Prices hotline and it's not just for vetterments,
but it's for helping vetterments and their loved ones get helped.
If your body, if you know anybody goes to the issues,
you can pick up the bone they called eight hundred
and two seven three in two five or five. That's
eight hundred and two seven three eighty two fifty five.
While you get tax eight three eight two five five.

(11:05):
That's eight three eight two five five. If you're online,
you simply go to Vetermans Crisis Line dot net. That's
Veterans Quics Line that net. And when you do, you
want to give it some praise because we all need
somebody to lean on, and it sure is good when
somebody's leaning back.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
And what to say.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Thank you to Expinity, Comcast TV and Compact a Spotlight
Effect TV for paus ay Key sports from the universe.
Just like in the Book of Genesis one thread where
God said reparations now, reparations leave.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
And then God said, let's to be a lot. I
want to shine light all over the world.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
And no matter what you're going through, keep your hope alive,
keep your head and keep your head up. It's easy
to say, sometimes hard to me. We've all been through
those days of tough times. And even if you just
go through things, you gotta keep going through it. You know,
get just don't stop and don't stay stuck in your
in your misery or your I'll get it.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I've been there myself.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Well, we all go a few times when we lose
somebody that we love dearly and there's no healing time
and there's no time to say, well, you can only
heal or more and for a month or a year.
I'm still more than other people that I've lost. But
I try to lift my hand up and rise of
Sewan because that's what I was told to do. And
maybe you can get that some praise.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Do if that makes his kids. Gotta give it praise,
Gotta give it praise.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
We got to get busy living, and Brgan Freeman said
that Deshaunch again, busy living.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
We got to get busy living. We all have to.
That's just just the way life is now.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
I do want to say, because I love doing sports
so much, I love the world of politics and sports,
I gotta say I'm about good deeds.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
I've had a lot of good things happen in my life.
I had some bad things too, I'm human.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
But yesterday I met this lady, beautiful African American woman,
and she was at a park. She had a kid,
maybe a ten year old kid, and I just noticed
that she was looking under the bottom of her car,
and so I thought I could see that her that
pan under the car that blocks things and leaving the

(13:11):
bottom of the engine or the alternator.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
It was it. It came down. So whatever she was
driving it was like scratching. It was being dragged along
the ground. It just made it.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Sometimes I fivebroglass or plastic, and so I asked him them,
are you having no wise when you're driving a car?

Speaker 3 (13:26):
She said, oh, yeah, something's broken. And I said, would
you mind if I take a look at it.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
She says sure. So I saw what it was, and
it's the It's a flush plate on the bottom of
the car. I said, if you give me about ten minutes,
I can fix it.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Foolish. So I had some tools and some components in
the back of my trunk and.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
I got on the ground. I jacked her up and
I was able to fix it about ten minutes. And
she was so grateful, and she said, well, do I
owe you anything? I said, no, just have somebody when
they need help. And I told her by the time
that I was stuck in Yosemity with my family one
time and the car alternator bought working for whatever reason.
When the wire burned it that's where but it burned,

(14:03):
and going down the side of the hill, I saw
flickering light. It happened to be a sheriff fination. This
is about nighttime, right coming from yourssemite and a long
story short, there was a couple there in the band
and my cell phone wouldn't work. And then I asked
him maybe I had a cell phone at work. He
said no, but he offered to walk with me to
some houses whatever dark and asked people if they could

(14:26):
use a landline. And these Caucasian guys me in that neighborhood,
mostly white. I didn't want to be walking up someone's
door at nighttime, knowing how people can be, and so
he went with me. We knocked on like two doors
in the third person said, yeah, we have a cell
phone you can use. I'm not a cell phone with
a landline. So we called Triple A and they showed
up in about an hour and a half and.

Speaker 18 (14:48):
It got home.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Now they were not there in the parking lot, just
sitting there. They were from New Yurope.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
The assembity is about three thousand miles from the New
York I know, God, does I just give got the.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Praise because I know it was all God. If they
were not there, something else would have showed up.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
But the fact that they were there, and the fact
that my car stopped, I mean right out my back
time my kids in the car with me at that time,
spouts in the car with me and we just said, oh,
God will.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Get us home. And long story, sure we get home, but.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
It was God that didn't. I just get That's why
I give God praise so many times that's happened in
my life. It's just it's just there.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
And so I know, the lady just helping somebody else.
Do you see to mean help? He said, it's so gracious.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
But I remember as a young boy, I've always been
around favor and I love I love giving a favorite praise.
I'm gonna take what's called the big C Pauls also
known as a big Sea time out.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
I didn't back in this the moment.

Speaker 19 (16:00):
So my name is Laura.

Speaker 20 (16:01):
I'm an occupational therapy assistant and I sit on the
advisory board here at CBD College for the Occupational.

Speaker 19 (16:07):
Therapy Assistant program.

Speaker 21 (16:09):
I have to tell you so excited when I found
out that there was going to be an occupational therapy.

Speaker 10 (16:13):
Assistant program here in Los Angeles, because there was such
a need for so many years, and I have such
a passion for this feel not.

Speaker 21 (16:21):
Only for the role of occupational therapy itself or the profession,
but for the role of.

Speaker 10 (16:27):
The occupational therapy assistant.

Speaker 19 (16:29):
I've always loved my job.

Speaker 21 (16:32):
What I love about CBD College is that there is
such a positive energy here and you feel it from
upper management down through the staff, and then through the
students too as they're learning, and you feel it once
you get here to this campus. One thing that really
impresses me most here about CBD College is the way

(16:55):
that they are devoted to their students, and not only
while the students are here studying, but also after the
students graduate. They have this open door policy of coming
back if they need guidance or if.

Speaker 19 (17:09):
They have questions about finding a job.

Speaker 10 (17:11):
CBP College is there for them, raise us.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
Up for it.

Speaker 22 (17:16):
Just look meet doctor Rapplebaum, a dentist with three children,
perfect teeth, then the progress. He gives the same level
of service to his patience as he does his kids
and when he invests.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Now they need service with the slob.

Speaker 22 (17:29):
This is Tessa Carter, culinary cutosseur. Knows her ingredients like
the back of her hand. The same goes for her investments.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
So I expect total transparency.

Speaker 22 (17:39):
Liza's launtra Yes say hello to Peter Armstead type a CPA.
He always knows exactly where his client's money is going,
so of course I expect the same with my money.
And meet Betty Ambrose, leather worker, boot maker, customer bootmaker.
Her hands can craft the finest tuxedo boot you've had.

(18:00):
We're seeing what can I say? And hands on with
my money too? And what do all these investors have
in common?

Speaker 10 (18:06):
We all trust Schwab with our wealth that you do
every day.

Speaker 22 (18:10):
Over a million multimillionaires trust Schwab with more than two
trillion dollars of their wealth.

Speaker 23 (18:16):
Well, a bill to establish a reparations commission is gaining
momentum as Session twenty twenty five winds down. Gary Collins
with our Spotlight on Maryland team has an update and
now this is a priority in the legislated Black Caucus
of Maryland this session. A build to study of the
feasibility of state reparations has successfully passed Maryland Senate, the
ass lawmakers, and we try to ask a governor about

(18:37):
what they thought about this new commission without less debate
or conversation.

Speaker 10 (18:41):
Sena term used state government. Maryland Reparations Commission.

Speaker 24 (18:44):
A bill for the states studied giving reparations, including financial
payments to balance past racial injustices past the state Senate
two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Any discussion if not.

Speaker 24 (18:53):
Cleric will call the role a bill that has been
part of a larger national conversation.

Speaker 10 (18:57):
Several states.

Speaker 24 (18:58):
After the twenty twenty death of George Floyd in Innianeapolis
Central five.

Speaker 10 (19:02):
Eight to seven, I have received a concert majority is
declared past.

Speaker 25 (19:04):
We don't have the money to be exploring these options
right now period.

Speaker 24 (19:10):
In state Minority Whip Justin Reedy told Spotlight on Maryland
that amid a three point three billion dollar historic deficit
with future years in the state budget looking equally tough,
and I.

Speaker 25 (19:19):
Questioned whether you're using taxpayer money would ever be appropriate
in this context, even going back to when reparations were
paid to survivors of the Holocaust, they went after companies
you know that were involved, not not after taxpayers.

Speaker 24 (19:35):
State assemblies in New York and Illinois have recently adopted
similar bills to study the feasibility of financial restitution for
racial injustices.

Speaker 10 (19:43):
California was the first state to finish his.

Speaker 24 (19:45):
Study, issuing eleven thousand page reports that recommended down payments
amounting to one point two million dollars a restitution.

Speaker 10 (19:52):
Per eligible person Maryland Journal Assembly.

Speaker 24 (19:54):
We previously asked Governor Wes Moore in mid January if
you would support state lawmaker's push.

Speaker 10 (19:59):
For reparations reparations is that's something that your innistration was
support you.

Speaker 15 (20:03):
Now we're going to work with the General Assembly on
a whole collection of different issues.

Speaker 10 (20:08):
In our focus is economic advancement.

Speaker 24 (20:09):
Without receiving a direct answer, we took our questions about
whether he would sign or veto of the opinion bill
and several other unanswered questions about the budget to Governor
Wes Morris.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
He poured drinks ahead of opening.

Speaker 10 (20:25):
Day at Kevin Yards cover cover Governor. We tried to
speak to him once as he passed by cover.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
We tried again, and despite the.

Speaker 24 (20:33):
Governor's stopping to speak with others, he refused to answer
our questions. So we decided to ask others in the
bar what they think about the reparations bill and that
the governors should sign up.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
I think the governor, though, is more important, more worried
about being popular on a popular contest with other people
in the country and maybe trying to do something with
the light after he is worried about.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
People to say to Maryland.

Speaker 24 (20:53):
We sent the governor's office questions about the animated response
that he received inside.

Speaker 10 (20:57):
Of the Campion Yards bar this afternoon, un as well
as questions.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
About his support for reparations.

Speaker 10 (21:03):
His office did not directly respond to our.

Speaker 24 (21:05):
Questions, instead saying that Governor more will work with lawmakers
to ensure the state is more affordable, more competitive, and
a state that serves The Reparations Commission. Bill is likely
to be heard on the House floor this week. Sources
say they expect it to pass. We will continue to
follow closely.

Speaker 26 (21:24):
A new take now on an idea that has divided
some Americans, reparations. It has been over one hundred and
fifty years since the end of slavery, but inequality still
persists among the black community, and according to my next guest,
it would take more than a check to repair the
systemic damage that has been done. Joining us now is
Marcus Anthony Hunter, Professor of sociology and African American Studies

(21:46):
at UCLA and author of the new book Radical Reparations,
Healing the Soul of a Nation. I'm glad you're here
to talk about this, Marcus. If reparations were to be done,
what would the effect be on the black community, and
would it be enough or at least a beginning.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Yeah, it's important that we understand that whenever we're hearing reparations,
we're thinking bigger than just a check.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
We're just money.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
For example, one of the first things that happened during
slavery is that a bit of iron was placed into
kidnap people's mouths, which means that it steals their smile.
And so the question becomes, is there a reparations that
is monetary that can address the loss of something like
a smile?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
And the answer is null.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
And so instead, what we need to be thinking about
are what I call seven forms of reparations, or the
piles and piles of debt. Political reparations, intellectual reparations, legal reparations,
economic reparations, social and spiritual reparations, and all of those
together comprise what I call radical reparations, which really plants

(22:51):
the seeds of an infrastructure of equity which is beneficial
to not only Black Americans or African Americans, but also
to everyone who was poor, working class, middle class in
this country.

Speaker 26 (23:03):
Marcus, how do you harness all seven of those and
begin to move forward on that?

Speaker 10 (23:08):
Where do you begin.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
So you begin in some ways with the social because
at the beginning of the day, any experience you have
in a nation is a social contract. And so we
have to start thinking about ways that we can create
public awareness campaigns. And in fact, some of that has
been already going forward. Shout out to the sixteen nineteen project,
which has led to what we've seen as book banning,
which means that we're not at liberty to share the

(23:32):
history and the truth of what made the United States
a country which is land dispossession and enslavering and slaving
Black Africans.

Speaker 26 (23:41):
Can I ask you how open America seems to be
today to the idea of reparations, because, as you're saying,
it's not just about a check.

Speaker 10 (23:49):
People who oppose to having.

Speaker 26 (23:52):
Being able to look at the amount of money that
might be owed based.

Speaker 10 (23:55):
On what was taken.

Speaker 26 (23:56):
There's a hard calculus on that, but there is so
much more that can be done. Where does America stand
on this emotionally?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Do you think?

Speaker 15 (24:05):
I think?

Speaker 5 (24:05):
You know, I'm an optimist and I think that we
are at a better time than we've ever been. In fact,
I appreciate you and your whole team for having a
conversation on the airways about reparations. Once upon a time,
not long ago, it was very hard to even discuss it,
even amongst black people. So the fact that we see
states like California and New York, cities like Evanston and Asheville,

(24:26):
North Carolina, and so many other places in between doing
this work of at least talking about it studying it,
means that we are in a very very good place
to see it perhaps in our lifetimes, which is amazing.

Speaker 10 (24:39):
Yeah, and I'm glad you called it California.

Speaker 26 (24:41):
I've actually closely followed what's happened in Manhattan Beach, particularly
that family that has been given a bunch of money
and some property which they can turn around and sell
and make the money they want to.

Speaker 10 (24:53):
But it was money and property that was stolen from
them over one hundred years ago.

Speaker 26 (24:57):
It is extraordinary that Manhattan Beach has taken that a
relatively small community in California has taken that step.

Speaker 10 (25:03):
Let me ask you about your book.

Speaker 26 (25:04):
I want you to walk us through it because it
does a lot more Marcus than just examine reparations. Right now,
this book begins with a young West African boy being
sold into slavery, who's on a ship quote, unsure of
how long he'd been in the darkened cases as he
was in an endless loop of confusion, pain, death, suffering,
tears and unanswered prayers.

Speaker 10 (25:26):
Powerful prose there.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
Yeah, it's in order to attend to something that is
very divisive and negative, like reparations is or can be
for people. The challenge is really to take something that
seems negative and to appeal to the imagination because if
you can imagine it, you can manifest it. Or to
put simly borrowing from the wonderful song Everything Is Everything
by the great sociologist Lauren Hill, see this mixture where

(25:54):
sociology needs scripture developed negative into positive pictures. So the
idea is to take three parables, pull them together and
illustrate the seven forms of radical repair and have us
come to the president where we can all see that
we can imagine these forms of repair and we're not
being told what they look like and sound like. We
can meet our individual community needs and also call on

(26:15):
the Biden Harris administration, on whomever is president, to do
the work that has been long in the making, because
there's been over eighty three million minutes that black people
have been waiting for healing and repair.

Speaker 10 (26:28):
I'm glad you're an optimist.

Speaker 26 (26:30):
It's good to hear, and I'm very grateful for this
book and the stories that you're telling it at Marcus
Anthony Hunter.

Speaker 19 (26:35):
Thank you so much for your time. We'll look forward
to seeing you again.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
We hope.

Speaker 10 (26:41):
Trust us at the foundation of how markets work.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
You have to have trust in the system so.

Speaker 27 (26:47):
That when the investors come to the market and feel confident,
they're willing to investment, which then translates to business creation
and job creation. That chain is very, very important, and frankly,
in the crisis last September and October, that shade was broken.
A lot of the markets that got us into trouble
in the crisis were not regulated, They were not transparent,

(27:10):
there was really no accountability. Markets like ours are stable, reliable, transparent,
and highly regulated. We realize that we're going to enter
a period of reregulation that is necessary, and we find
ourselves in a unique position to be part of a
solution so that people feel the resulting business environment is
one that is able to instill trust going forward and

(27:32):
gets us back on the path we.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Need to be on.

Speaker 28 (27:39):
It's on steroids, and we refuse to be silent. We
will not back down in our pursuit of racial justice.
The antidota anti blackness is to.

Speaker 10 (27:48):
Be pro black, and we will do it unapologetically.

Speaker 28 (27:50):
The United States government owes us a debt and we
need reparations.

Speaker 10 (28:00):
I want to apologize that I didn't more formally introduce Rep.

Speaker 29 (28:04):
Pressley like we did Ret Bush, remedying that now I
would like to introduce Rep.

Speaker 10 (28:09):
Rashida to lead what yes, you're doing?

Speaker 29 (28:12):
Yeah, but I had to bring it out anyways because
our folks were coming up next.

Speaker 19 (28:17):
So with that repushing to lead.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
You you want to go get the payment?

Speaker 1 (28:25):
No, it's fine.

Speaker 10 (28:26):
Thank you all so much. I love being in this
room because it's like being at health. It really is.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
I'm so grateful to my sister Corey Bush for introducing
reparations now resolution and again people nodded, their heads are
like shrugging and everything.

Speaker 10 (28:39):
She didn't care.

Speaker 6 (28:40):
She kept moving, and I'm so so inspired by the
fact that Congresswoman summer Lee is taking on the torch
and carrying this very important legislation.

Speaker 10 (28:49):
Thank you both for your incredible leadership on this.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Of course, I stand here before you as a congresswoman
for the most beautiful, blackest city in the country, the
city of Detroit. To say that reparations are not reparations
is not a radical idea. We've been talking about it forever.
We've been seeing it from the roots of talking to
urban farmers to everyone from saying if you're not going

(29:14):
to do we're going to find ways and pathways to
try to again heal the harm and the heart of
many of my family members and my community and traders.
Know that it is a debt that our nation owes
and a true acknowledgment of the pain and the trauma
and harm inflicted on generations of many of our black neighbors.

(29:35):
Reparations are not a necessary step towards true equity and
our country and a more just future. There is an
opportunity for Congress to confront our nation's racist history of
slavery and white supremacy. We must provide the descendants of
enslaveed black families with reparations if they were promised.

Speaker 10 (29:54):
That's the thing that evervik he's forgetting.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
We're taught early on they were promised this, and they
deserve to create a pathway towards healing and justice.

Speaker 18 (30:02):
The path.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
Towards justice has never been easy. We know that it's
like this institution we all know wasn't built for us,
but we have to on the outside move them. It's
just like we always have to on every single thing
parting our children, our communities, our health, and so much more.

Speaker 10 (30:21):
But we must remember it is never in vain.

Speaker 30 (30:23):
Right.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
We Congress must act come from these uncomfortable truths and rights, right,
the wrongs of our country's history. Our country, as you know,
has been built by many of our black families and
communities for centuries.

Speaker 10 (30:38):
Many have endured the brutality of slavery, the.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
Violence of voice supremacy, the dehumanization of Jim.

Speaker 10 (30:44):
Crow, which is still ineverable, still.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Very evidence in auto insurance and housing insurance.

Speaker 10 (30:52):
And no, it's so, it's everywhere and housing and everything. No,
it's true, you know, I see it every day in
my community.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
And the systemic racism that has left lasting impact in
lives of our neighbors.

Speaker 10 (31:05):
The fact that black mothers are still not.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
Believed they say they're in pain in the hospital, the
so much against systems that have been in placed there
that are killing many of our black neighbors.

Speaker 10 (31:15):
The federal government has played a central role.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
You heard it from many of my sisters here, and
I sim I'm not simply talking about depths of the
past here, but the social and economic policies that built
middle class in twentieth century, like social security in federal housing,
policies often excluded at the time black families and communities
of color, and again.

Speaker 10 (31:36):
We saw it. It was more difficult to access quality education.
It still is.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
Again, it was built on the systemic racism that we
continue to see in policy. By providing reparations for many
of my families, we can begin to address the racial
wealth gap in the decades, decades of disinvestment in communities
like mine and dismantled the racist systems that have held
back many of our neighbors and resulted in so much death.

(32:03):
We know that true healing cannot occur without acknowledging that
pain and reparations is necessary. I'm proud to be from
a community that understands that. The community mothers that helped
raise me continue to always remind me again, you know
we don't wait. We always talk about that they will
never understand. It's almost like I remember when community mother's like, oh,

(32:24):
he don't get it.

Speaker 10 (32:25):
Let's keep going.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
But I would like to share a quote like to
always bring a little bit of my district in from
a resident Lauren Hood. She's a friend in in the
City of Detroit's former reparations task Force chair. She said, quote,
for it to be holistic reparations, it needs to be
an acknowledgment of the harm, some form of redress, and
insurance that it won't happen again. And again, what we

(32:51):
heard today is just with the stroke of a pen,
we are seeing the current administration.

Speaker 10 (32:59):
Dismand well even the small little.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
Trinkets of crumbs of protection they provided our families. And
again we need to make sure that it's not only reparations,
but that it leads to more real, true policy change
that again protects our families. But again, thank you to
my sisters. It's always so wonderful to be with all
of you truth tellers. And again, uh, it's wonderful to
be at home in this Congress that just really is.

Speaker 10 (33:24):
It's just trips at your soul.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
But thank you.

Speaker 31 (33:28):
Do.

Speaker 10 (33:29):
But thank you for the story me today than with
respect to time, I want to I want to introduce
some of our advocates.

Speaker 29 (33:40):
Some of our advocates and our coalition leaders Uh, one
of the leaders of this of this movement.

Speaker 10 (33:44):
In this work, I want to bring up recent heath
as reparations try to. She's the founder of why.

Speaker 19 (33:51):
We can't wait, reparations, coalitions and without further ooh, we
made it.

Speaker 10 (34:03):
Good afternoon.

Speaker 32 (34:06):
I stand here today grounded in the unyielding spirit of
our ancestors, those who resisted unsurvivable conditions with dignity, who
built this nation stone by stone, and whose blood still
nourishes the soil beneath this very capital. I honor them,

(34:27):
and I call on their strength in this moment as
we continue to push forward on our fight for holistic healing.
I want to lift up and thank our Congresswoman Souvenly
for her bold and unwavering leadership. You continue to lead
on labor rights, disability rights, community development and infrastructure, on

(34:50):
environmental justice, housing, education, voting rights, corporate accountability, right, all
the black things, all of our things, all of the
people's things. But I also thank you for understanding that
this is a moment we cannot pass on to restore

(35:13):
our collective identity, dignity, and to advance repair.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Thank you to my.

Speaker 19 (35:18):
Sister, former and forever congress Woman.

Speaker 32 (35:21):
Corey Bush for your vision, for your steadfastnet, for standing
with and for movement.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Always appreciate you.

Speaker 32 (35:30):
And to Congresswoman Ayana Presley for standing unapologetically always on
the side of justice, on the side of memory, and
on the side of repair.

Speaker 10 (35:41):
Thank you.

Speaker 19 (35:44):
You all are carrying the torch lit generations.

Speaker 32 (35:47):
Ago by people like Belinda Sutton, Calli House, Queen Mother Moore,
and the countless unnamed freedom writers whose dreams of liberation
still echo through our demands. Today, we are gathered not
just in remembrance, but in resistance at a time when

(36:09):
forty four states have introduced legislation to ban the teaching
of anti black racism role in shaping this nation, At
a time when black voters are being disenfranchised, black property
is still being stolen, black people are being disappeared in displaced,

(36:29):
and Black people are being overpoliced, overworked, underpaid, and overincarcerated,
at a time when white supremacist ideology is not just tolerated,
but paraded in the highest halls of power.

Speaker 10 (36:45):
It is now that we must say.

Speaker 32 (36:48):
Clearly and without apology, Reparations are not a luxury or
a charity. Reparations are illegal and moral necessity. We are
justice here today and for all our days. We are
not asking to be included in an economy on our backs.

(37:09):
We are building and demanding repair for the extraction and
exploitation that has been the default setting of this nation.

Speaker 10 (37:19):
Let us be clear.

Speaker 32 (37:21):
Government routinely issues reparations at the federal level, and this
country has paid reparations to Japanese American families for force
incarceration and removal. I appreciate y'all for standing with us today,
to white slave owners for their loss of property, to

(37:44):
Holocaust survivors abroad, to veterans exposed to Agent Orange.

Speaker 19 (37:49):
To nine to eleven victims and their families.

Speaker 32 (37:52):
So why is it controversial to repair what has been
stolen from Black people? Why is it so hard to
recognize our full humanity to compensate in all necessary forms
for centuries of stolen labor, land and life.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
To those who ask why now, we say.

Speaker 32 (38:11):
Because we are still being disappeared, Because from Tulsa to
Tyree Nichols, the legacy of racial violence continues to evolve. Because,
as this reparation's now resolution declares, the exploitation of black
people has been the primary economic engine of this country.

Speaker 10 (38:33):
And it must end.

Speaker 32 (38:35):
Reparations are how we begin to dismantle racial capitalism.

Speaker 19 (38:39):
They are how we move from punishment to possibility.

Speaker 32 (38:43):
They are how we finish the unfinished project of a
just democracy.

Speaker 10 (38:48):
So those to those in power, you can't.

Speaker 32 (38:51):
Ban black history and expect to bury our demand for
justice and equity. You can't erase us. We are still here.
We ain't going anywhere. We demand reparations, and we demand them.

Speaker 19 (39:08):
Thank you.

Speaker 32 (39:11):
If we can begin the world and next step, I
want to bring my sister in the movement, an og
a fierce lifelong advocate for reparations, niah Awakaki, Thank you,
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (39:30):
Solidarity.

Speaker 33 (39:32):
During World War Two, one hundred twenty thousand Americans of
Japanese Japanese of American ancestry, No Americans of Japanese ancestry
were imprisoned in US concentration camps with no due process.
My mother was incarcerated in Mansinar. My dad was a
staff sergeant in the heroic one hundred and four to

(39:53):
forty second Battalion, the Japanese American segregated unit that fought
for the US while their families were imprisoned in Barbier
Armguard concentration camps. Our families were torn apart, jobs, health, property, dignity,
and lives were lost. Reparations is more than a check.

(40:14):
I hear people say they gave reparations to Japanese Americans.
The United States government did not give us anything. We
fought for reparations after our bill was finally introduced. It
took another ten years to pass. Then we had to
fight for appropriations and then help them locate the survivors.

(40:36):
And through it all, the Congressional Black Caucus, chaired by
Mervyn Diamalley, our friend and mentor, supported Japanese American reparations.

Speaker 19 (40:46):
Every step of the way.

Speaker 33 (40:48):
Many are now ancestors, but I'd like to call out
their names Mervin Diamiley, Ron Dellham, John Conyers, Julian Dixon, Lewis,
Nicky Leland, Harold Washington, and our own Secretary, Norm Minetta,
Bob Matsui, and Senator Spark Matsanaga and Dan Enoe. In

(41:15):
honor of those Congressional ancestors, we look to the Congressional
Black Caucus today to again lead us in the campaign
for reparations. And not just the powerful sisters that are
here with us, but that is Caucus There is a
history of Japanese American black solidarity. NICKI Progressives and NCR

(41:37):
has roots in the movement of the sixties and seventies.
We were inspired by Malcolm X and Fred Hampton and
Martin Luther King marched in solidarity with the Black Panthers,
Republic of New Africa, Brown Berets. NCRR campaign for Reprigasions
was rooted in the principles of building solidarity and grassroots organis.

(42:01):
Those principles continue to guide our fight for justice and
reparations for Black Americans, and today we are honored to
stand with you in support of the Reparations Now resolutions.

Speaker 10 (42:16):
I read this resolution.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
It is an.

Speaker 10 (42:19):
Education of deep education and a call to action.

Speaker 33 (42:25):
As we face daily blatant attacks on democracy, increase, racism,
and divisiveness, It's more important than ever that we stand
together and strengthen our solidarity.

Speaker 19 (42:36):
To fight fascism and win reparations.

Speaker 33 (42:41):
Reparations is about human rights, affirming our history and atoning
for past harms, restoring generational wealth, and confronting white supremacy.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Reparations is more than a check, It's.

Speaker 33 (42:55):
A call to action, justice, solidarity, and reparations.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
No thank you, Next off is Chelsea cluds Wise, Executive
director of Marijuana Justice.

Speaker 19 (43:13):
All right, thank you, and good afternoon.

Speaker 34 (43:16):
My name is Chelsea Higgs, wives of Marijuana Justice, and
I have traveled right up the road.

Speaker 19 (43:20):
From Virginia to be here with you today.

Speaker 34 (43:23):
Virginia is known as the shores with the ship's docked
in sixteen nineteen for those twenty or so odd negroes
at Point Comfort. I'm here today to share Virginia's role
and responsibilities applied not to just Virginia residents, but how
Virginia acted as an accomplice to influence this country to
further it's harms nationwide. Would we be the same country

(43:43):
if Virginia had not passed the law in sixteen seventy
proclaiming all newly arrived Africans be enslaved for a light?
Would we be the same country if Virginia had not
stripped all free blacks and Natives of their voting rights
in seventeen twenty three. What about this state outlying inter
racial sex for three hundred and thirty seven years, allowing
for deadly.

Speaker 19 (44:03):
Enforcement of the majority of black men.

Speaker 34 (44:06):
Virginia may have started these practices, but the federal government
continues the.

Speaker 19 (44:10):
Harm by refusing our repair.

Speaker 34 (44:12):
The resolution reads recognizing that the United States has a
moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the crime
of enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the
lives of millions of black people in the United States,
while I'm here today as a descendant of enslaved Africans
to share what lasting harm looks like, and feels like

(44:33):
and has in Richmond, Virginia. This includes grave robbing of
our loved ones for the medical dissection and experimentation by
the local hospital that still stands and thrives today, being
displaced from homes and losing property value due to the
Highway of I ninety five and sixty four ripping through
black neighborhoods like Jackson Ward, the Little Harlem of the South,

(44:55):
and Navy Hill. Being a descendant of Virginia means that
after the Voting Rights Act, we watched our city annex
part of the county in order to purposely dilute the
black majority votes. Speaking of the Black majority, gentrification has
caused black population and our city to decrease rapidly.

Speaker 19 (45:13):
No longer the Chocolate city we were before and after.

Speaker 34 (45:16):
Emancipation, the Controlled Substances Act has allowed Virginia to arrest
over twenty thousand people a year up until twenty twenty,
feeding this monster of mass incarceration, mostly black people, filling
the court.

Speaker 19 (45:30):
Dockets four times the rate as white folks.

Speaker 34 (45:34):
And after fifty years of the drug war, black residents
and Richmond overdose at the highest rate in our state,
with little public health resources of survival and much less
acknowledging of our humanity. So today I stand in solidarity
in this line, with our ancestors, with our architects of
the movement, and the spirit of those who have yet

(45:54):
to come. To say thank you to Congresswoman Lee. To
say thank you to all of the women of color
that are standing up here from Congress.

Speaker 19 (46:02):
Is not lost on media. There's the women up here
leading this movement.

Speaker 34 (46:05):
Yes, and really to say that we are here together
and that we cannot wait. This will be reparations, win
and reparations forever.

Speaker 10 (46:17):
Up next, I'd like to introduce the one only, the founder.

Speaker 34 (46:20):
And executive director of First Repair, This Robin Yer Simmons.

Speaker 10 (46:29):
Good afternoons.

Speaker 20 (46:31):
My name is Robin HU Simmons. I am the founder
and executive director of First Repair. I am a former
city councilwoman from Evanston, Illinois. I am proud to be
here today with each of you in support.

Speaker 30 (46:42):
Of Reparations Now resolution by the fierce and unshakable Congress
Women Summer Lea and all the members.

Speaker 19 (46:49):
That are in support of this resolution. Your leadership of.

Speaker 30 (46:53):
This resolution and the package of restorative reparative bills, including
HR forty, during the hostile time where our human rights
and civil rights are being signed away and our democracy
is rapidly spiraling downwards, speaks values.

Speaker 10 (47:09):
Thank you here.

Speaker 20 (47:10):
You stand for us, for this nation, for it is
only through our repair that this nation will achieve liberty
and justice for all. And a heartfelt acknowledgement to our
brilliant sister Dreason Heath and all of the convenors Yes
of the why we Can't a Wait coalition and all
other coalitions and individuals that have been leading in this fight.

Speaker 10 (47:31):
The case for.

Speaker 30 (47:32):
Reparations is clear, it is undeniable, and it is well established.
I'm here to reinforce what is possible. Reparations in our
case is a human right.

Speaker 20 (47:44):
Equity is good policy, but insufficient redress and reparations is
not just a check. As we just heard There are
few of us gathered here now relative of the hundreds
that are here this week.

Speaker 19 (47:56):
In DC and DC in support of reparations.

Speaker 20 (48:00):
We have been in this fight for centuries, and today,
cities and states, inspired by the vision of some of
our past and present congress people, are proving that reparations
are attainable, and they are transformative.

Speaker 19 (48:14):
For communities, righteous and just enough to support and.

Speaker 20 (48:18):
Enforce redress for unlawful acts and the crimes against the
humanity that do not have statues. We have been leading
by example, establishing flexible models for redress, educating our communities,
changing hearts and minds, healing and reconciling communities, and restoring
wealth that's been stripped away from local policy and practices.

(48:40):
Localities are holding ourselves accountable to what we expect of.

Speaker 19 (48:44):
Our congressional leadership.

Speaker 20 (48:46):
In twenty nineteen, Evanston, Illinois pass attack funded local reparations legislations,
and since there have been over one hundred localities that
have done the same, appropriate for the harm and their communities.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Yes to that.

Speaker 10 (49:00):
Last week it was Decatur, Georgia.

Speaker 20 (49:03):
Last month, it was Santa Monica, California.

Speaker 10 (49:07):
Last year it was a.

Speaker 20 (49:08):
State of New York and we are so thrilled to
see the legislative progress happening for the harms and the
crimes against the people of Tosa under the leadership of
Chosa's first black mayor, Mayor Nichols, including leadership from the
Beyond Apology Coalition and Justice for Greenwood. So we are
encouraged by the momentum in localities nationwide, but we are

(49:33):
certain that even when, not if, but when we reach
one hundred localities for reparations, we will not achieve what
our collective north star is, that is federal comprehensive and full.

Speaker 19 (49:45):
Repair that will take it after Congress rightfully.

Speaker 20 (49:50):
So if you need to understand the case for reparations nationally,
read the sixteen nineteen project by Nicole Hannah Jones. If
you want to learn all the way the United States
government is paying reparations today to other communities yet denying
us continually, then you need to read the Normalizing Reparations

(50:10):
Report by Professor Cornell Brooks at Harvard Kennedy School and
Professor Linda Miles. If you want to learn how reparations
can uplists all, read the Case for Reparations by the
Metropolitan Planning Council If you want to see how harm
is done to us and how it lives within our genes,
there is report the Harm Is in Our Genes by
Encobra commissioned by Cam Howard.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
If you need to.

Speaker 30 (50:33):
See what a robust reparation study looks, read the California
State Reparations Task for its Harm report. And if you
would like to see the sentiments of a diverse community
implementing reparations, you can read the key finding study of
Evanson Reparations by Northwestern Professor Lartillery. And lastly, if you

(50:54):
want to be the nation, if we want to be
the nation we claim to be and reach our highest
potential as a thriving, healthy democracy, support this passing of
resolution Reparations now and all the supporting policies, including HR
forty within the resolution.

Speaker 20 (51:10):
Reparations are possible, Reparations are due. Reparations now.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Kyle heavy Pot for the own post found of Black
ven in the Project.

Speaker 31 (51:24):
All right, good afternoon everyone. My name is Kyle Baby.
I'm the co founder and co CEO of the Black
Veterans Project. I'm a former Marine Infantry captain, a Naval
Academy graduate, and an Afghanistan War veteran. For over two
hundred years, black veterans have answered our nation's call with
valor and distinction. And as I'm sure many of you know,

(51:44):
we fought for a country that too often denied us
the rights that were given to others.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
When we returned home from these.

Speaker 31 (51:50):
Battles, we faced the Second War when that still lasts,
a war for equity, a war for safety in the
case of today, the war for wealth that we earned.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Through blood, sweat and sacrifice.

Speaker 10 (52:04):
Black Veterans Project has collected the.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Data going all the way back to World War Two.

Speaker 31 (52:09):
We know that black military families have been denied approximately
one hundred to billion dollars in benefits to black military families.
That's the total estimate, But for each veteran there is
a specific story.

Speaker 7 (52:21):
For veterans like Conley Monk, he returned to Connecticut from Vietnam,
and many veterans like him were denied via homeowans for
four decades or longer, not because they hadn't earned them,
because the system to attain those benefits.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Had been rigged against them. Our research shows that black veterans.

Speaker 31 (52:39):
Are twice as likely to live in poverty, make up
to one third excuse me, make up to one third
of the veterans homeless population and face forty four percent
higher unemployment rates than the white counterparts.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
These missing veterans benefits, no doubt, play a partner. This
isn't just about benefits and equal rights. This is about legacy.

Speaker 31 (52:58):
This is about erasing the history of our community, something
that we are all well attuned to as we've witnessed
the attacks on our rights to exist and have our
story told today. Removing our history while denying us access
to the same benefits, has created an entire generation that
were denied, and that was not by accident. It wasn't
accidental when our ancestors were enslaved. It wasn't accidental when

(53:20):
it took an entire civil war to liberate millions. It
wasn't accidental when our communities were burned to the ground
for daring to be independent and prosperous. And it isn't
accidental today that we continue to deal with this. All
these things were designed to obscure the truth of how
our nation built prosperity on the backs of black people

(53:41):
and defended that prosperity with the service of black veterans.
That's why this resolution represents a demand for truth. It's
an opportunity to finally document, acknowledge, and address the full
scope of our collective American legacy.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
For black veterans, specifically.

Speaker 31 (53:57):
It means finally recognizing that racial wealth gap isn't about
individual choice, It's about willful obstructure. More importantly, I truly
believe this nation needs reparations because we can never heal
an illness that we refuse to diagnose. Today, we stand
not just as advocates, but as descendants, the children and

(54:18):
the loved ones of the dispossessed. Our ancestors serve with honor,
face discrimination with dignity, and pass down.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Stories of service that we're ignored.

Speaker 31 (54:27):
We carry their legacy and we demand that their sacrifices
be fully recognized, and we demand reparations.

Speaker 9 (54:36):
Doctor Marcus Anthy Hunter, author Radical Reparations and thesol of
the Nation and board member.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Of the MBJC, Thank you so much, Doctor Johns.

Speaker 5 (54:45):
Before I start, I just want to say, the ancestors
are so pleased. Tera Teresa, thank you so much, Thank
you so much. To Summerly, the land of August Wilson
is grateful.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
I'm from Philly, so that yes, yes to my dear friend.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
But fortunately the congresswoman from Massachusetts' luckiest district, number seven.
Thank you for carrying a mantle that is thirty plus
years old, but will not be thirty plus years old
under your leadership. I want to thank our forever congress
Woman Corey Busch. Corey Bush.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
We love you.

Speaker 5 (55:28):
We will not be here if not for your leadership,
your brave leadership in the face of so many obstacles
people do not know about, and you carried it because
it's what matters for our people.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
It is with that spirit that I offer the benediction.

Speaker 5 (55:44):
We are gathered here today on what is effectively the
eve of Malcolm X's one hundredth birthday. As we make
our call for reparations now, we do so by also
embracing the ancestral power and mandate embedded in Malcolm.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
X's legacy and it's less than forty years of life.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
Became one of the most well known advocates for civil
rights and racial justice and the time of a great
division and need. Malcolm X's legacy is pregnant with insight
and pathways toward truth, unity and repair. Amidst as many
calls to action, Malcolm X wants to clear quote this
same generation of whites also must recognize that's incurred by
the former generations of whites to your and my forefathers

(56:23):
end quote. To be sure X was an early reparations proponent,
in many of the folks grappling with the idea of
reparations today turned to his legacy and life for inspiration
and reparations absence. Systemic racism and systemic inequality have become
so entrenched in the premise of the United States of
America that even the combination of executive orders, military orders,

(56:45):
and constitutional amendments have proven an inadequate adversary. Yet when
the word and debateabed reparations come up now, it is
undoubtedly not about the fact of systemic subhuman bondage or lynching. Instead,
it invariably becomes a debate about mone money. Questions about
who should be paid, why they should be paid, how
much should they be paid, round out.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
The usual debate. But what if those are the wrong
questions centered around a false premise.

Speaker 5 (57:12):
Bubbling just beneath the surface of the reparations debate is
a real, though and unspoken fear and worry, a worry
that drudging up the past threatens the thinly braided fabric
woven to hold all the panels called the United States
of America together. Many of the fears tend to emanate
from presuming pathologies and dysfunctions believed and fed about Black people.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
How will they spend the money?

Speaker 10 (57:35):
What will they buy?

Speaker 5 (57:38):
Even when coming from an innocent perspective, these questions treat
money as one dimensional rather than the multifaceted object it is.
Money is time, money is currency, money is wealth, money
is access, money is energy, money is memory, money is history,
money is repairing, money is recovery.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Money is respect. Shout out to Aretha Franklin. Money is dignity.

Speaker 5 (58:05):
Money is truth, money is healing, money is restoration, money
is power.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Money. Money is present. We us are present now. Those
of us alive now from all.

Speaker 5 (58:20):
Walks of life, have earned the right to live in
a nation where reparations for slavery are commonplace.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
And happening now.

Speaker 5 (58:27):
Reparations because America has a poverty problem. Reparations because America has.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
A criminal justice problem.

Speaker 5 (58:37):
Reparations because the wealth and achievement gaps are detrimental and preventable.
Reparations because George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade should
be alive reparations because Tulsa's Black Wall Street should not
only still be standing, it should be a thriving beacon
and blueprint for joy and wealth, possibilities. Reparations because the

(59:02):
black community should be thriving, not merely surviving reparations, because
our very nation's soul desperately needs a healing.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Evermore, as Malcolm.

Speaker 5 (59:13):
Xistuley exclaimed in nineteen sixty four, quote, if you stick
a knife in my back nine inches and pull it
out six inches, there's no progress.

Speaker 10 (59:23):
If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
The progress is healing the wound that the blow made.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
End quote.

Speaker 5 (59:31):
It is this healing, this repairing, that we must turn
to in order to progress to a more perfect union.
Through politics, education, law, finances, social contrasts, space, and spirituality,
we can develop an.

Speaker 10 (59:43):
Inclusive, holistic reparations process.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
To do this, we need elected officials.

Speaker 5 (59:49):
Across the gamut that we are seeing blueprinted here a BYuT,
these beautiful black women leaders to help develop an inclusive
idea of how it can lift up people from all
b walks of life and join with us in our community.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
To lift up our voices.

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
Together, we must remember that repair and healing are always
a net benefit to any society, and Malcolm X's legacy
is a foundation upon which we can be guided by
our common truth and achieved dignity for all.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Now I will close with a universal law. All that
you repair, you heal.

Speaker 19 (01:00:22):
All that you heal heals you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
The only lasting truth is love. God is Love. God
Bless America. Thank you all so much. Thank you all.
That's invide up our professional leaders for to.

Speaker 10 (01:00:36):
America and the ABC News.

Speaker 35 (01:00:45):
With Republicans being in leadership this go around, which is
different from the last session that the bills were introduced,
how has that changed your strategy going forward with introducing
the bills and also trying to get support.

Speaker 19 (01:00:59):
I don't think.

Speaker 29 (01:00:59):
I think that the opposition of this bill is one
party and leadership or another, as you seem to have
been fighting in and out of majorities and and out
of minorities and out of administrations. So our strategy to
that end remains the same, because the opposition to reparations
is the institution itself fighting back, and it's why it's

(01:01:20):
so important that we move it from all angles.

Speaker 19 (01:01:23):
Uh So, whether or not is Donald Trump.

Speaker 29 (01:01:26):
Or whoever comes after him in office, and we would
love for us to not have to wait for who
comes after him in office. Our strategy is going to
continue to educate, is going to UH, We're going to
continue to organize. We're going to continue to whether it
be locality about locality, district by districts, continue to build
up the army of folks who we need to speak

(01:01:47):
truth to power and really demands with us that which
we are owed and what.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Is due to us.

Speaker 36 (01:01:54):
Right California, what is that I mentioned the need to
work as well as you've mentioned as far as some
of the revelation discussions.

Speaker 37 (01:02:05):
Have been brought up as far as Britain of commissions
and studies, those have been certain camped down as for now.
But some of the questions that had been brought up
has been exactly what does your resolution really aim for?
Is it that Black Americans are a certain economic level?

Speaker 10 (01:02:28):
Are they being just targeted? Is everyone? So basically it
doesn't matter as to what economic level.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
It's pretty much all black Americans.

Speaker 37 (01:02:36):
What about those individuals of any race that have a
lineage going back to slave America, It doesn't matter.

Speaker 29 (01:02:43):
So going to be very clear whether or not a
black American a black American a black descendant of American
chattel slavery were able to break into the middle class.
They are still and they were able to do that
despite the harms, despite the past, and justice is done
to them, so they are not exposed from the reparation
and the remedies they're in. When we think about who

(01:03:05):
traces their lineage back, that is again a debate that
is used to try to sallence the rest of this movement.
It's a distraction tactic because what we want to do
is instead of focusing on again what the system did,
who did it, and what the impact of it was,
we'd rather get bogged down and well, should they make
twenty five dollars an hour or should they be paid

(01:03:29):
the low a living wage?

Speaker 19 (01:03:30):
Right?

Speaker 10 (01:03:31):
Should they have been educated or if they're educated as
at this qualifundn't know they're black. If they are black
and their.

Speaker 29 (01:03:35):
Descendants of slaves, then they were directly in the lineage
of harm. If they are a descendant of Jim pro
gmpropolicies in this country, they are the direct descendives and
current living recipients of that harm. If they are living today,
then we are still harmed by inequtable funding schemes.

Speaker 10 (01:03:55):
Of public schools.

Speaker 29 (01:03:56):
We're still harmed by being black or brown, or poor
and living nearer to environmental hazards all over this country.
If you are black in this country right now, you
are still less likely to be able to acquire a loan.
The interest rates are still higher for black folks who
are attempting to buy homes or.

Speaker 10 (01:04:12):
Go to school. We are still discriminated because of our here,
because of our.

Speaker 29 (01:04:16):
Names when we go to get jobs, even as executive
orders have been eroded that would have protected against those things.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
So that's what we want to focus on.

Speaker 10 (01:04:24):
And that's precisely what this resolution does.

Speaker 11 (01:04:26):
UH.

Speaker 29 (01:04:27):
This resolution also directly demands passage of HR forty because
we recognize that in concert, we are attempting to holistically
address the harms that have been done by federal government action.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
In this country.

Speaker 19 (01:04:44):
Think, am you want to.

Speaker 38 (01:04:53):
I just want to add one thing that that fire
that you just received was was was all that all
that was needed for this? But I want to at
one thing about how this is always thrown at Black Americans.

Speaker 19 (01:05:04):
To figure this out.

Speaker 38 (01:05:06):
The US government has a moral and legal obligation to
repair the harm. It's about what the perpetrator did and
not who it was committed upon, or it's not.

Speaker 19 (01:05:17):
So it's our value, you know, are we being valued?

Speaker 10 (01:05:20):
Are we being uh?

Speaker 38 (01:05:21):
Is the US government acknowledging the harm, and so it
should not be the person that committed the harm. You
know that they get off as long as the person
that received the harm, as long as that he that
wound looks like it's healed. Oh, now I get away
for I don't have to deal with it. No, you
did it, and and and the other thing is this
Republicans and I'm going to say Republicans because generally that's where.

Speaker 10 (01:05:44):
It comes from.

Speaker 19 (01:05:44):
But they love to call law and order. They love
to say that.

Speaker 10 (01:05:48):
You know, it's the it's the rule of law, and
and and and if you did it, then you got
to own up to the crime, and you got to
be punished in all of these things. Well, we know
what the US did. Let's read this, read this bill,
read this resolution.

Speaker 19 (01:06:01):
It tells you what the government did and what the
government has not done.

Speaker 10 (01:06:04):
To repair the harm to black folks in this country.

Speaker 38 (01:06:07):
And so because of that, we're not demanding it because
people may not have enough money in their bank accounts.
We're demanding it because of the reason why we are
in the state we're in, and we don't want our legacy,
we don't want our children's children to have to walk
through that very same thing when this country has the
money to spend, the money to give because if we

(01:06:29):
can give billions of dollars to war profiteerias, if we
can give billions of dollars to drop bombs on babies
and to annihilate whole the whole family legacies, if we
have the money to do that, if we have the
money to give all across the world to harm other.

Speaker 19 (01:06:44):
People, this country needs to fix what it broke many
years ago.

Speaker 10 (01:07:09):
No, I associate myself and I do.

Speaker 28 (01:07:11):
Just want to say that just to make that point
that everyone Democrat Republican has been a perpetrator or complicit
in the policy harm and neglect done to black people.
It has never been an indiscriminate heart. It has been
a precise and intentional harm. And so that is exactly

(01:07:33):
why we need to be race conscious and race specific
in the work and the reparative work of restitution and redress.
So this is not about Democrat Republican. This is not black, white, brown, Asian.
This is about right and wrong, good and evil, and
are you a person of conscience? But the last thing

(01:07:54):
I will say to the democratic, to my democratic colleagues,
is that while we see.

Speaker 10 (01:08:00):
That there are those that move as.

Speaker 28 (01:08:02):
If the work of liberation is either on trend or off,
and people that said they were a part of a
so called racial reckoning or nowhere to be found in
this moment that the headlines have faded, and so too
has their commitment to do this work. To Democrats, I
want to say, it is not enough for us to

(01:08:23):
simply say we ain't them.

Speaker 19 (01:08:27):
This is an opportunity and a moment.

Speaker 10 (01:08:29):
To affirm exactly who we are as people of conscience.

Speaker 28 (01:08:34):
And you know, there's a lot of conflicting analysis and
punditry about why we find ourselves in the moment we
are in now and why Donald Trump has a second
occupancy in the White House.

Speaker 10 (01:08:45):
I believe that people have sent a message than what
they want our leaders.

Speaker 28 (01:08:49):
They are fearless and unapologetic advancing policies that go as
far and as deep as the harm.

Speaker 33 (01:08:55):
So we need to.

Speaker 10 (01:08:58):
Do this there.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
Well, that's my story and I'm taking with it reparations now,
reparations lava here there's concreous people all over this country
gotta calling for the just Act for the nags of challenge.

Speaker 4 (01:12:38):
And you know people always ask about what it means
they have a trust and they know someone who does
the trust. I said, that's fine, but I say, fact
telling story. Sell, it's about the endorsements. We have the
endorsements of the late James Gomez. He advised four California
governors and let the change in California nursing nomans. He

(01:12:59):
was a c over the California and Association and health facilities.
He also served on Golden Ones board of directors for
twenty one years. You know, he endorsed the RDC team
and he told Ray Dela Cruz. He said, young man,
if you showed me how to trigger these long term
care in titlements, I will endorse you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
Ray showed him. He endorsed them.

Speaker 4 (01:13:19):
Now, whoever do in your trust, ask him to put
in writing that they would trigger your long term care
in titlements. Should you need some long term care, and
if we all live long enough, most of us are
gonna need it. Haven't put in writing they would pay
your medical bills if they don't have to trigger it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
The RDC team does.
