That’ll never happen.'"" * INDYWeek * ""Well organized and presented in a thought-provoking manner that provides a great case for the progression of reparations."" * Criminal Justice Review * ""This edited volume is an in-depth exploration of what it might mean for African Americans to be compensated for the damages of slavery, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration.
