The Green Party Black Caucus and the Green Party of the United States support reparations for Americans of African Descent that suffered the devastating damage and long-term effects and impacts of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, chattel slavery and de jure and defacto discrimination and segregation.

Support for reparations is in the Green national platform. How should this be reflected in a local platform for New Orleans, once the center of the slave trade?

Local member Anika Ofori will share her work on this issue.
