Patterson also appeared last week on PBS News Hour’s feature: What 2020 Democrats think about reparations

“For centuries, kidnapped Africans worked for free to make America great, and to make businesses very wealthy, and we recouped none of the benefits.

In addition, centuries of discrimination and bias have also put African-Americans in a very untenable situation, and so reparations are a way to make us whole.”
