Before You Go: A Final Case for Reparations by the Late Rep. John Conyers, Jr.

Hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh take listeners back to an August 2018 interview Nicole conducted with Rep. John Conyers, Jr. (D-Michigan) and his career crusade to establish the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. During the Congressman's lifetime, which the Congressman spent nearly three decades on a relentless campaign, the H.R. 40 Bill never made it out of Committee.  In one of his final interviews, Rep. Conyers reflects on what reparations for African Americans would achieve and how he realized early on the journey it would take to get there.
