WHO ARE REPARATIONS FOR?
Black Americans in the United States have been labelled Negro, Mullato, Colored, Black, and African-American, and disconnected from pre-existing tribal and ethnic identities, nationalities and birthrights. The Reparations descendant group is defined as Black and African American descendants of enslaved Africans in the United States, the descendants of Black and Negro and Colored Americans since 1865, and the descendants of American Freedmen emancipated from slavery, and may include identified “Blacks” and “African Americans” of mixed race or heritage so long as one of their native born American parents is a due member of the descendant group.
These descendants yield a distinct ethnicity as having been in the Americas since before 1776 and the Declaration of Independence subsequent to the formation of the United States, and before 1865 and the Emancipation Proclamation.
