Research Questions
The history of black oppression in the United States is well documented. From the days of slavery through the Jim Crow era and into the present, black Americans have faced discrimination and violence at the hands of their white counterparts. This long history of racism has left black communities at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to education. In order to begin to rectify this injustice, reparations should be paid in the form of educational reform.
The research question guiding this paper will be: in what ways can education reform serve as reparation for black communities?
The paper will show that educational reform should take many forms, including but not limited to: increased funding for black-majority schools, hiring more black teachers and administrators, and increasing curriculum options that focus on the experiences and contributions of black Americans. We must also reckon with the legacy of segregation in our education system. School districts should be desegregated in order to promote diversity and equity in our schools.
It is important to remember that reparations are not a handout; they are a way to begin to make up for centuries of oppression and maltreatment. Educational reform is one small step toward justice for black Americans. It is time for the country to make things right.
