Deval Patrick in The Hill 2020s

On Welfare & Poverty: Supports reparations to living descendants of slaves

Patrick announced support for developing a reparations program as part of his "Equity Agenda for Black Americans." "The American Dream remains further out of reach of Black Americans than other Americans, and because of that, America has not fulfilled her promise," the former governor said. He supports a plan in which the federal government would provide reparations to living descendants of enslaved African Americans, but added that "reparations without reconciliation are incomplete."
