As part of a special series, the New York Times asked high school students to weigh in through creative writing on whether the U.S. owes reparations to the descendants of slaves.
“Most students agreed that at the very least an apology should be made for the horrors and legacy of slavery. However, they were divided on whether it is simply too late to pay reparations and, if not too late, how to appropriately compensate people,” the Times reported.
