PAY THE TAB: Reparations Now

Author: Tony Tolbert & Adam Radinsky

America has never faced up to the atrocities its massive wealth was built on or the racism that still plagues us today. Its high time for reparations to Black Americans. In each episode, Harvard lawyers (and longtime friends) Tony and Adam expose a story of racial injustice then explore creative ways to make it right. The show features special guests who are on the front lines fighting for justice. We're making the case for full national reparations, one story at a time.
