More than 4 centuries ago, Africans were kidnapped, enslaved, trafficked, & forced to work through the violent institution of chattel slavery.
Our #HR40Reparations bill is an essential step toward repairing the harm of slavery in America and its aftermath.

Howard Associate Professor Bahiyyah Muhammad, Ph.D., has dedicated her career to challenging the stigma surrounding children of incarcerated parents.
Her research focuses on highlighting resilience and success of these children as many of them have earned advanced degrees, hold public office, and have become leaders in their communities.
In her latest book, “Social Revolution: Black Children of Incarcerated Parents Speak Truth to Power,” Dr. Muhammad showcases stories of individuals who have defied societal expectations.
“I’m trying to challenge the deficit-based perspective that assumes the only outcome for children of incarcerated parents in incarceration themselves,” Dr. Muhammad said.

Let’s have the AUDACITY to share this belief and to commit to making this belief a reality.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, from his 1964 Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech: “I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down men other-centered can build up.”
