Our Black History Month bonus episode is now available on Legal Talk Network. The episode provides a closer look at the U.S.’ first reparations program in Evanston, Illinois.

Should reparations be given, and if so, who should get reparations and what form should they take? These are questions the U.S. has pondered since General Sherman made the largely unanswered call for 40 acres and mule to be allotted to emancipated slaves during the Civil War. Mayor Daniel Biss joins the podcast to discuss how Evanston is implementing the country’s first-of-its-kind reparations program, which seeks to distribute reparations to Black residents who were impacted by the city’s historical housing discrimination using revenue from cannabis taxation. Mayor Biss discusses the challenges the program has raised and how it may serve as a model for other U.S. cities looking to implement similar programs.

Listen to the episode today: https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/chicago-bar/2023/02/a-closer-look-at-the-u-s-first-reparations-program-with-evanstons-mayor-daniel-biss/

Special thanks to our sponsors Posh and Embroker.
