In 1982, the African People’s Socialist Party convened the first international tribunal on reparations in Brooklyn, New York. The verdict is that Africans in the US are owed no less than 14 trillion dollars in damages, or about one million dollars per family. The African People’s Socialist Party aimed to make reparations a household word by taking it out of the hands of the legislative and legal sector and giving it to the African working class. It has succeeded.
Black Power Talks salutes the 40th anniversary of the Reparations Tribunal. Throughout 2022, we will be presenting a series of episodes that explore the issue of reparations from an African Internationalist perspective.
This episode is part one in that series. It is entitle "Make Wall Street Pay Reparations" and features excerpts from a March 20, 2022 panel by the same name. The panel discussion featured Matsemela Odom, Pres. Yejide Orunmila of the African National Women's Organization, and Penny Hess, Chairwoman of the African People's Solidarity Committee. More information on the Make Wall Street Pay Reparations campaign can be found at uhurusolidarity.org.
Black Power Talks is produced by WBPU 96.3 FM "Black Power 96" in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is hosted by Dr. Matsemela Odom and Dexter Mlimwengu, bringing an African Internationalist perspective to the important issues of our world.
