Kwaku Person-LynnAfrican-AmericanFree education for students of African descentFor decades, there have been discussions on how to properly compensate people of African descent for the hundreds of years of free labor provided during slavery in America. Models have already been established. Indigenous Americans (incorrectly called Indians because Columbus thought he landed in India) were forced onto reservations but are now courageously fighting in the courts to regain their land. The American Japanese are being financially compensated for being imprisoned during World War II in American internment camps. European Jews are being financially compensated by the German government for the atrocities they experienced in Nazi prison camps during the Second World War. Yet people of African descent have not been compensated for the massive tragedy they experienced here in America.July 4, 2007Page 1 of 1
