NYC votes for reparations task force: Letters to the Editor - Sep. 16, 2024
Briefly

The City Council needs an immediate overhaul. Slavery ended over 200 years ago in New York, and yet councilmembers want to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to hand out free money.
If they can introduce me to one New Yorker who owned a slave, I'd be happy to consider it. But until then, I am not paying a dime as a reparation for a harm I did not cause.
If the council really wants to address the issue, they should look at the elephant in the room - our failing education system.
My question is: If reparations are given to Black descendants of slavery, will the descendants of white Union soldiers who died freeing those very same slaves also receive reparations?
