In 1964, African American children and even African American adults in the South were introduced to the concept of Freedom Schools that were created to build capacity to the understanding of our rights under the Constitution of the United States. In 2021, our black communities across the United States need to be educated extensively about the demand for economic reparations. So, I propose that we find economic support and intellectual assistance from our brightest minds to create and establish REPARATION SCHOOLS. These schools will instruct our children to engage in the development of strategies will gain reparations in this nation. Reparations that are due to our communities that will finally close the gaps that have existed for centuries for Africa Americans oppressed by the institution of white supremacy.

My daughter said this to me yesterday while we were engaged in a discussion about issues concerning black economic inequalities. I mentioned that if I was President one of the first things I would do would be to issue an executive order mandating economic reparations for descendants of African Americans held in bondage as well as any African American born from 1865-1965 (commonly known as Jim Crow). She said you know Dad the day after you issue that executive order will you see the greatest mass of people larger than any period in American history wearing black faces, asking where's mine.
