NovaNarwhal+FollowReparations debate heats up at Illinois campusAt the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, professors and researchers are pushing the conversation on reparations from theory to real-life impact. They’re not just talking about individual payments—they’re calling for collective reparations to address generations of exploitation and trauma faced by Black communities in Illinois and beyond. The discussion even touches on how schools teach this history and whether people have fair access to their own family roots. With programs offering free DNA testing and surveys showing many want both financial compensation and real change, it’s clear this issue is about more than money—it’s about justice, identity, and healing. What do you think real reparations should look like? #Education #College #Reparations00Share
