Description

Reparations is an idea that someone should be compensated for a wrong doing in the past. In this case, we are talking about slavery. You are to read any two articles below and watch two of these videos: ( I have many to choose from, in case a link does not work) 2+2

Then follow the instructions.

Your paper should be a minimum 750-1000 word response to the articles and video clip. (about two pages). There is no maximum, so write away….but 750 should cover it. Include a word count at the end. All grades count =. 10-12 readable font double spaced paper is fine. MLA or any format is acceptable. I’m much more interested in content, than structure.

The first part of your paper should be a summary of the articles/videos. I suggest putting these in paragraph form. What was each about? Make reference to the articles in your first part of the paper, for example “ according to…..” or you may just list your articles used at the end of your paper. I would probably do 3 paragraphs (one on each article) and the same for on the videos that you choose.

The second part would be your response to the reparations issue. What did you think? Did you agree or disagree with the statements and points made throughout the articles? Who do you agree or disagree with and why? What do you personally feel about the reparations for slavery issue? Would it help race relations or not? How much would be appropriate? Should rich Black –Americans benefit too? (There are many) Who would apologize? Where would the $ come from? Should you apologize for your great, great, great grandpa who may have owned slaves? How about 1st generation Americans? (I’m paying for what!) Has the government done anything since the Civil War to help Black Americans? Do Blacks today suffer because of slavery?

Have other groups encountered problems in America? Should they also get an apology and money? Should the govt. apologize, but not pay any money?

Capitalization, punctuation, spelling etc… counts and is -1 per mistake.

NOTE: 2 ARTICLES AND 2 VIDEOS ARE REQUIRED TO BE CHOSEN

PICK 2 articles of your choice and list the name of the articles at the end of your paper for full credit. Choose 2 videos and list the links.

Here are the articles to choose from. Pick TWO. If one or two do NOT work, keep checking the other links. They all worked last week, but sometimes links come and go. You will be able to find plenty of options here that do work.

Pick TWO videos of your choice. There are 10 to choose from. They were all working last week. Don’t give up if one or two do NOT work. I’m sure you can find two that will.
