112 pages : colour photographs ; 24 cm. When the first enslaved Africans arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, America's long and troubled history with slavery began. Although slavery was ended at the conclusion of the Civil War, the United States is still wrestling with the issue of how to provide restitution for the damage caused by this institution. This book explores the issue of whether the government should pay reparations for slavery. It examines what those reparations might look like, and how they might change the lives of eligible Black Americans"--Back cover. general JENNIFER L. ROWAN Includes index.
