As we
continue to publish articles for our most recent issue of the Journal of Educational
Controversy on “The Ethics of Memory: What Does it Mean to Apologize for
Historical Wrongs,” we wanted to alert our readers to another attempt by the
Congress to advance a bill to form a reparations commission to study the
lingering effects of slavery and the social and economic injustices that followed. The bill
that was voted on by the House Judiciary Committee also proposes a national
apology for the harm that was done. Readers
will remember our earlier posts where we reported on earlier attempts to pass
such a bill. We will continue to follow
this more recent attempt in later posts.
See “In a historic vote, a House panel advances a bill to form a reparations commission”
in the New York Times, April 14, 2021.
