The two lectured on their book “From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-first Century,” which argues for reparations for Black descendants of enslaved people in the United States and outlines a plan for its implementation. Mullen and Darity responded to several questions by pointing out that reparations for Black Americans are often questioned more than other forms of reparations. American Studies major Andrew Lee ’23 left the event appreciative of Darity and Mullen’s presentation, and felt Mullen’s contextualization of reparations was particularly valuable.
