20M Reparations to be Given Back to the Ancestors of the Enslaved and Invested.
20M has been paid to slave owners and their families for hundreds of years without being public knowledge, meaning the descendants of slaves have been paying through their taxes unknowingly. From 1836 to 2015 it needs to be paid back and invested into the community. Too long we’ve suffered, no more.
The black community hasn’t received so much as a penny in compensation for the hundreds of years of pain and suffering, experienced to this day. We want the government to pay what we are owed back to the black community & invest it in education, healthcare, housing, after school programs, clothing, food etc. this is just the start there needs to be a complete reform on the British educational system and the judicial system. https://www.taxjustice.net/2020/06/09/slavery-compensation-uk-questions/
