Boston's religious leaders, joined by an assembly of Black and White clergymen, are calling for historic 'White churches' to commit to reparations.
In this Dec. 4, 2014 photo, people walk near Park Street station in downtown Boston after dark. Boston’s religious leaders, joined by an assembly of Black and White clergymen, are calling for historic “White churches” to commit to reparations.
The demand was orchestrated by the Boston People’s Reparations Commission for the institutional role played by the city in the transatlantic slave trade. The sum is also intended to endorse further reparations from the city itself. “We point to them in Christian love to publicly atone for the sins of slavery and we ask them to publicly commit to a process of reparations. Where they will extend their great wealth - tens of millions of dollars among some of those churches - into the Black community,” he said.
