Democrat Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) is slated to introduce a reparations resolution this week, as she believes it is a \u201cmoral and legal obligation\u201d for Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution itself involves<\/a> the U.S. spending \u201ctrillions\u201d on reparations for black Americans. The resolution points to Jim Crow laws as part of the justification for the use of U.S. tax dollars going toward this effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it,\u201d Lee said, enraged that President Donald Trump ended many diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures with the \u201cstroke of a pen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we recognize that the fight to restore black folks has to be so much more substantive,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news comes<\/a> on the heels of several proponents of reparations \u2014 including Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), and Rep. Lee \u2014 participating in a congressional briefing on Tuesday titled \u201cWe Can\u2019t Wait: Advancing Reparative Justice in Our Lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The briefing was organized in partnership with the National Black Justice Collective, Black Lives Matter Global Movement Fund, and the Black Music Action Coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event listed several pieces of \u201ckey\u201d legislation, which include Lee\u2019s \u201cReparations Now Resolution\u201d as well as Booker and Pressley\u2019s \u201cCommission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, both Pressley and Booker have busied<\/a> themselves over the past several weeks focusing on pushing reparations for black Americans. In February, they reintroduced legislation to \u201cestablish a federal commission to examine the lasting legacy of slavery and develop reparations proposals for African American descendants of enslaved people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Pressley claimed the Trump administration has engaged in a \u201ccoordinated, years-long effort to dismantle any policy that uplifts Black folks and addresses America\u2019s shameful history of systemic racism,\u201d failing to provide any legitimate examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker argued that the nation has yet to \u201ctruly\u201d acknowledge and grapple with \u201cthe ways slavery, racism, and white supremacy continue to disadvantage African Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCommissioning a study to better understand where our country has fallen short will help lawmakers better address the racial disparities and inequalities that persist today as a result of generational injustices,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
