Growing interest in reparations for African Americans has prompted "reparations conferences, " public debates, and heightened awareness that the historical link between slavery and today's race relations remains potent and undiminished by time. Grassroots organizing has already begun. Distinguished academics and legal scholars have embraced the idea that reparations should be pursued vigorously in courts of law and legislative bodies. But who should pay? How would reparations help heal the wounds of the past?
