Description

Dr. Marcus Hunter joins Broken Law to talk with Peggy Li about why reparations are needed in the United States and how the movement for reparations works with and alongside the movement for Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) in this country. This episode is a great follow-up to Episode 9's introduction to TRHT. Dr. Hunter and Peggy address common misunderstandings about reparations, precedent for reparations in the U.S. and beyond, and examples of states and communities that are pursuing reparations locally. Their discussion concludes with how listeners can engage in the movement for reparations and TRHT. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Peggy Li, ACS Director of Chapters Guest: Dr. Marcus Hunter, Professor of Sociology and African American Studies at UCLA Link: "Radical Reparations" by Dr. Marcus Hunter Link: Video of "Racial Healing for Justice: Reparations and Transformation" event Link: H.R. 40 - Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act Link: Mapping Support for Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation by Bridging Divides Initiatives Link: ACS's Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation initiative Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: Podcast@ACSLaw.org Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube ----------------- Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of American Constitution Society 2022.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
