Former NY City Councilmember, Assemblymember and lifelong Black Panther Party member Charles Barron is our guest for the weekly Freedmen Fridays segment. Barron breaks down his views including: NY state has to acknowledge that it was the 2nd largest slave holding state in the country. And today with a state budget of 237 billion for the state and109 billion for the city it has the money to get this done. The state cannot continue to govern without paying reparations.
