African American men are resolute in making reparations a key issue in the 2028 Democratic platform. Since 1985, when Congressman John Conyers first introduced a bill to explore reparations for descendants of enslaved people, this proposal has been repeatedly dismissed. Now, after nearly 40 years, the demand is clear: if Democrats want the Black vote in 2028, reparations must be a core commitment in their national platform. The time for symbolic gestures is over.
