Reparations for slavery have gone from a third rail issue to a mainstream Democratic Party talking point. While much of the conversation has focused on HR 40 and local/statewide task forces - has the reparations movement left a critical tool in the reparations battle of off the battlefield?

Lawrence Grandpre & S. Rasheem bust some myths around cannabis legalization. They argue that redistributing tax revenue from cannabis legalization to communities most impacted by the War on Drugs can serve as a more substantive and tangible form of reparations. This is opposed to increasing emotional, abstract and ideological conversations around reparations for slavery.
