Why
We take action

USA Reparations Movement is a nonpartisan grassroots movement specifically dedicated for black descendants of American chattel slavery from the United States of America in order to procure reparations legally owed to us, their black descendants. Our specific group of black Americans have a unique justice claim different from every other group based on our ancestral contribution to building the United States of America from the ground up.

In 1865, following the Emancipation Proclamation, the US government promised reparations to our formerly enslaved ancestors however, the government reneged and the United States of America would eventually go on to become the wealthiest country in the entire world based on our ancestral contribution of nearly 250 years of free slave labor known as chattel slavery.

Over the last 400 years, legislation has been passed to permanently exclude black people from opportunities made available only to white people which set the standard to assure black people remained in a state of permanent and dire poverty.

From the Headright Act of 1618, to the Virginia Slave Laws of 1680 - 1705, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, to the Homestead Act of 1862, the Morrill Land-Grant Acts of 1862, the vetoed Freedmen’s Bureau Act of 1866, FDR’s New Deal of 1933, the NHA/FHA Acts of 1934 to 1968, the Social Security Act of 1935, The Wagner Act of 1935, G.I. Bill of 1944, and many more rules, laws and regulations backed by the US government, mandated and permitted extreme acts of exploitation, unethical profiteering and inhuman treatment which resulted in unrelenting pain and suffering of the formerly enslaved as well as their descendants, up to and including the present day in 2019.

Following the end of chattel slavery, the United States officially granted our formerly enslaved ancestors full US citizenship, however, neither they nor we their black descendants were ever legitimately recognized as such nor were we designated as protected class status with overdue US governmental benefits. As a result of this setback, we collectively have nearly no generational wealth and face daily racial discrimination in all areas of American society even today. Thus, by the year 2053, it’s projected that every black American household, descendants of the formerly enslaved will fall to $0 in wealth. Faced with severe poverty as a group, we are also subjected to judicial injustice, unfair treatment and systematic oppression.

Consequently, because the racial wealth gap between white and black Americans is so wide, reparations are the only way to repair the damage inflicted upon us, a specific group of black people still marred by the atrocious travesties inflicted generationally onto us on behalf of the United States government stemming from the Transatlantic Slave Trade (1619 – 1865), to legal segregation and government sanctioned domestic terrorism (1865 – 1968) as well as institutional and systemic racism (1968 – present day).
