The equivocal number from 1860s for 40 acres today is $200 million for each and every African American.

Hello, hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. Did you know that I, Lauren Chen,

I'm actually black. That that's right. Or at least that's how I'm choosing to identify.

And now that I see how far the reparations movement in California is going as the post-millennial

because it's California. I think it's just assumed that, of course, it's a good idea,
