Jim Young / Reuters In June 2014, when my colleague Ta-Nehisi Coates published “The Case for Reparations,” I wrote in praise of its powerful description of housing discrimination as depraved, invidious theft that harmed black Americans long after the repeal of Jim Crow. And I declared myself “persuaded that relatively radical action ought to be taken to compensate victims of redlining and to address its most destructive, lasting consequences.” Specifically, I urged radical changes to the criminal-justice system and advocated some of the policing reforms that Black Lives Matter now champions.
