In this episode, Thomas and Caleb barely scratch the service on why reparations are necessary, and the societal, economic, and emotional benefits that would come with them. They also talk about the structural issues preventing reparations from making it through the legislature, and the moral contemplations that occur.
*audio note: Caleb's neighbors started blasting very loud music at around the 50 minute mark of the podcast. We apologize for any inconvenience that this causes in the listening experience.
