FEATURING EDGAR VILLANUEVA - As the 2024 presidential election season is in full swing and states across the nation are starting to hold their primaries, abortion access and the Israeli genocide in Gaza are front and center. But other issues of crucial importance to the U.S. electorate, such as reparations for Black Americans, are getting far less attention.
Edgar Villanueva, who champions the issue of reparations, is author of the best-selling book Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance and Principal of the Decolonizing Wealth Project and its fund, Liberated Capital. He makes the case that reparations is central to Election 2024.
