U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib is calling on $14 trillion in federal government-funded reparations for descendants of enslaved Black families. The Detroit Democrat joined U.S. Rep. Cori Bush, D-MO, who introduced the Reparations Now Resolution, in urging their colleagues to help atone for the practice of slavery and hundreds of years of racist policies that followed. “Our country promised reparations to our Black neighbors and never followed through, even as other communities were provided some form of reparations,” Tlaib said Thursday.
