This is such a good and educational conversation. Joel Edward Goza, professor of ethics at the HBCU Simmons College of Kentucky and the author of "Rebirth of a Nation: Reparations and Remaking America," joins the show for an enlightening, uplifting and insightful conversation that has Gabe rethinking the spectrum of possibility. They discuss what reparations are NOT, the delicate balance between violent and nonviolent revolution, how reparations could be implemented holistically, "the universal basic neighborhood." Join My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gabesdunnDonate to Our Movie: https://www.filmindependent.org/sponsored-projects/you-i-you-me/This has been a Noted Bisexual and Diamond MPrint ProductionsProduced by Melisa D.
