Reparations - Part 1 with Dr. Kathy Powers
Description
Dr. Kathy Powers is a professor of political science. Respected around the globe. Twenty years ago, she had an encounter with a student that left her speechless. Then it completely altered the course of her career...
Her student, who was bi-racial (Jewish and Black), asked a simple question:"Why did my Jewish grandmother get reparations, but my black grandmother didn't?"
The professor did not have a good answer for him. But the disparity in treatment led her on a quest to understand the mechanics of reparations. Who gets them? Who decides? And who decides WHO decides??
She has traveled extensively in Europe for her work and her scholarship has covered reparations cases from Bosnia to the Caribbean.
