Reparations News
About Reparations News
Reparations News is an independent national news and information platform dedicated to covering reparations for descendants of American slavery.
Our editorial purpose
Reparations News covers the history, evidence and public decisions surrounding restitution owed to descendants of people enslaved in the United States. Our perspective is Foundational Black American and lineage-based: reparations are an unpaid debt and interrupted inheritance, not charity.
We distinguish reporting from interpretation, proposed bills from enacted laws, and public acknowledgment from material repair. An apology, study or new commission may matter, but none should be described as compensation already delivered.
How to use the evidence
Our historical explainers link to archives and official records. The tracker identifies its sources and separates saved updates from fresh bill information. Comparative articles examine other communities’ settlements without implying that their eligibility or legal foundations are interchangeable with the American slavery-descendant claim.
Our illustrations support the editorial subject; newly generated historical scenes are identified as illustrations, not evidence that a pictured event occurred. Reader questions and policy evaluations should be checked against the linked primary sources.
