Uncounted Millions, Ep 5: Reparations Now

Can reparations be a reality for all Black Americans? In New York , the state Gabriel Coakley’s descendants now call home, the governor has signed a bill creating a task force to consider reparations for formerly enslaved people. It’s the third state to do so. But beyond local considerations, does this debate have real momentum at a national level? In the final episode of “Uncounted Millions: The Power of Reparations,” we take a look at public opinion polling on reparations, along with the dollars and cents of making this a reality across the country. And we return to Gabriel Coakley’s descendants to understand how the family plans to keep alive the legacy of service and Black liberation he started a century and a half ago. As we round out our series, Trymaine is joined by: the Coakley-Flateau family, Duke University professor Dr. William Darity , New York Senator Zellnor Myrie , Amherst political science professor Tatishe Nteta, and archivist Dr. Lopez Matthews.
