Reparations: Why it’s about more than just money - BBC Africa
How do you right the wrongs of slavery and colonial rule – and should reparations be about more than just money?

BBC Africa has done a fascinating deep dive into the divisive idea of reparations and found that financial restitution isn’t the only form of compensation that’s needed to start healing wounds.
