and Reparations
by Aura Bogado
Ta-Nehisi Coates has published a long-awaited reported feature in The Atlantic titled “The Case for Reparations.” The writer lays his argument out in 10 chapters; online, it includes multimedia elements like videos interactive maps.
Coates, who advocates for systemic approaches to inequity, tells Bill Moyers why honest, conscious conversations about history, white supremacy and policy are crucial to his vision of justice.

Coverage of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s
“The Case for Reparations”
I’ve been tracking the responses and follow-ups to Ta-Nehisi Coates’s recent article “The Case for Reparations,” released on May 22 in The Atlantic. The magazine ran a video trailer for the essay last week. A year ago, I heard Coates mention that he was working on the piece; I’ve been interested watching the roll-out and commentary.
