about

Reparations NOW honors Black Lives Matter, inspired by Ta-Nehisi Coates’ congressional testimony and Ibram X. Kendi’s best-seller book, How to Be an Antiracist – both of which offer powerful and compelling arguments in support of reparations for the African-American community. The album features works by a diverse group of living composers reflecting on systematic racism and the economical and emotional toil it takes on the Black community with compositions from Courtney Bryan, Allison Loggins-Hull, Angélica Negrón, Damian Norfleet, Alvin Singleton, and Trevor Weston .
