In this wide-ranging conversation, prize-winning economist William Darity, Jr. discusses his plan for reparations for American slavery and its legacy. Based on thirty years of research, Professor Darity's plan is pragmatic, at once fiscally sound and deeply moral.

He is co-author, with A. Kirsten Mullen, of the just-published book: "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century," which has been hailed as "a vital intellectual history and a roadmap for these times."
