Tzedek Program-Biases-The Complicated Road To Slavery Reparations And The Need For An Apology
Tzedek Program-Biases-The Complicated Road To Slavery Reparations And The Need For An Apology
Tue, May 24, 2022 @ 07:30 PM
With Dr. Ron Daniels. The rhetoric around reparations touches on questions of morality and ethics, such as what, if anything, the descendants of enslavers owe to the descendants of the enslaved. But the process often boils down to practical negotiations. Factors such as money come into play, along with thorny questions such as how to account for the modern consequences of long-ago systems and structures, and the most effective ways to redress past wrongs.

In the wee hours of May 15, 1902, three thousand Jewish women quietly took up positions on the streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Convinced by the latest jump in the price of kosher meat that they were being gouged, they assembled in squads of five, intent on shutting down every kosher butcher shop in New York’s Jewish quarter.
