The subject of reparations has always been a flip discussion about 40 acres and a mule. Ta-Nehisi Coates has written the cover story for the June issue of the Atlantic about reparations and it’s out today. Chicago is front and center in this story, which talks about red-lining and unfair contract housing. Ta-Nehisi joins us to talk about how Chicago’s history and present shows good reason for why we should be talking about compensating African-Americans in the United States.
