Anita Belle

In this April 10, 2019 file photo, Reparations Labor Union founder Anita Belle talks about slave reparations during an interview in Detroit. Few Americans are in favor of giving reparations to descendants of enslaved black people in the United States, a new poll shows. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll also finds that most Americans think the legacy of slavery has at least some impact on black Americans today. Anita Belle, founder of the Reparations Labor Union in Detroit, says “doing the right thing means making amends for what a nation did wrong.” (AP Photo/Corey Williams, File)
