NAACP's Rev. Amos Brown, a key ally of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, speaks out in favor of reparations for African Americans.
“We’ve got to act and stop just talking, not just saying we are sad,” says the Rev. Amos C. Brown. “We got to stop just having a plan. We got to execute that plan.”
Brown, Third Baptist’s senior pastor since 1976, is particularly proud that his historic church — affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, USA, and the American Baptist Churches USA — was the site of the first in-person public meeting of the task force. Harm has been done to Black folks by this nation. And it’s time for us to respond and not react but respond in a responsible, rational, realistic way that will give us results to bring Black folks from the bottom of the well economically, academically, healthwise.I spoke to ministers down in Los Angeles, up here in San Francisco.
It’s a question of what is practical. And I feel that when people throw out numbers that are not rational, that are not practical, that are not deliverable, it brings us, at the end of the day, to be stuck in a quagmire and a skunk fight. It will be in the hands of agencies of the Assembly and the Senate, who ought to come to common ground, sit around the table and have reasonable leadership. The legislative body ought to listen to expert people who are economists.
