Abstract
"House of Representatives Bill 40, introduced three years ago as of Wednesday — back when Freddie Gray
was still alive in Baltimore and a Donald Trump presidency seemed implausible — suggests that
reparations should be paid to descendants of slaves held between 1619 and 1865. The bill is conceptual and
political, but, like many reparations efforts, short on details regarding dollar amounts and eligibility; it instead
proposes the creation of a commission to study the cause."
