I'm hoping others will have suggestions regarding reading up on this subject and helping me find the organizations doing this important work.

I've been searching and have found organizations and information regarding restorative justice, but little regarding reparations. I have found some wonky journal papers to which I've requested access. I'll search for Truth and Reconciliation Commissions next.

Maybe some members here in this group have written about this and compiled info and resources?

Beyond Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Case for Reparations," here are a few findings:

This article suggests reparations for survivors of Jim Crow, more recent history. She gets skewered in comments, of course.

Any people or organizations or sites you can recommend re: this topic?

Thanks.
