Students vote to pay compensation over selling of slaves
Students at Georgetown University in Washington DC have voted to raise tuition fees and fund reparations for the descendants of slaves.
In 1838, the university sold off 272 slaves that it owned to pay off its debts.
The vote was part of a non-binding referendum, which saw 66% of students voting in favour.
If the idea were to go ahead each student would pay €24 euros every semester.
The money would go towards projects in underprivileged communities where some of the descendants live such as in Maringouin, Louisiana.https://www.euronews.com/2019/04/13/students-vote-to-pay-compensation-over-selling-of-slavesНа мен ми се струва, че нормалният вариант е да платят репарации на потомците на робите и след това да ги върнат там откъдето са ги докарали.
Дали ще ги устрои такъв вариант?
