Nikole Hannah-Jones will debut her work on Hulu with a specific purpose in mind: to strengthen the case for reparations.
— there remains debate as to whether these attempts can provide an adequate substitute for federal reparations.
Told through the lens of Nikole Hannah-Jones’ personal story, historical events and the modern fights for voting rights, the first episode of The 1619 Project “Democracy” explores Black America’s centuries-long fight to democratize America and to hold the country to its founding ideals.Hannah-Jones, however, said Black Americans should not reject any potential funding, even if it’s on the state level and potentially inadequate to provide financial redress.
The subject of state reparations and the return of land are discussed in the series, along with the idea that reparations should be more than just a cash payout. Hannah-Jones said the best approach would include rebuilding. It should also be a “large investment into Black communities and Black institutions that have been divested in,” like Black public schools and historically Black colleges and universities. “And… strong enforcement of existing law.
“First, acknowledgement on the part of the culpable party,” he said. “Second, an act of redress on the part of the culpable party. But then the third component is closure… that the community that has been victimized will make no further claims for restitution after adequate redress has been provided … unless there’s a renewal of the atrocities.”
