There is a robust debate in the public square about whether America owes money to the descendants of slaves. Ta-nehisi Coates makes a compelling "case for reparations."

The House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee established a commission "to study and develop reparation proposals." While adults spend time debating and studying, I propose we all rally around reading as a form of reparations.
