Hi Anita, Thank you for your persistence and commitment to Reparations. I r appreciate all the work you do. As an active reparationist, I, Shelinda Knight-Davenport, have been accepted in Grand Valley State University’s Study Abroad in Ghana, Africa Program, June 13-July13. In morning, I will study the literature of the slave trade by Ghanaians at Cape Coast University. In afternoon, I will go to a Ghana middle school and share Black American literature of slave trade. The cost of is $9,000. By me being a nontraditional student, I’m not eligible for grants or student loans. Since February I’ve raised over half of the cost. I’m still in need and asking help with funding for my one month stay of room and board at Cape Coast University, 6 more textbooks, and remaining immunizations. Yellow fever immunization alone is over $200. Most of all, I’m asking for and need prayers for safe journey, scholarly and safe stay, and return a better person than when I left to make reparations more of an reality.

Good morning Staff, and in particular, Anita Belle. I rather appreciate the work you, Guys, are doing, but I also believe that we can, and we should, stop talking about reparations and start sending signals to the companies that have benefited from slavery (banks in particular) that we are going to default on our loans in 2018 (education, credit cards, cars, home, health… etc). This can be done by bringing all our black lawyers on our side so as to make it all legal. By now, we should have identified (and we did) more than 30 companies, banks and firms that became filthy rich as a result of the Slave Trade.
