A history lesson: reparations for what?

Article Abstract:

Slavery as a subject of restitution to African Americans has several difficulties relating to its remoteness in time. Lynching, however, has been a much more recent phenomenon and would be a more promising focus for the reparations movement. This would serve the purpose of restoring lynching to American memory, from where it has almost disappeared.

This is a model of reasoning that emphasizes outsider values and examines both conscious and unconscious bias in the law.
