Founding Director William Darity Jr. is among the many contributors to The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences double issue “Black Reparations: Insights from the Social Sciences”.
The issue brings together current social science research and policy options regarding reparations for Black Americans. Darity was both featured in this conversation and was one of the editors of the double issue.
In his response, Darity defines and outlines the need for Black reparations, emphasizing that “acts of reparative justice are not unusual” and that, rather, the U.S. government’s provision of reparations in other cases has been “routine.”
