"This is important, and the major reason I think it's important is that in the other significant instance of reparations being provided, for Japanese-Americans who were incarcerated unjustly, that program was the result of a commission," said William "Sandy" Darity, a Duke University professor who has written extensively on reparations. "There is some sentiment that this isn't a reparations program so it doesn't go far enough. But a commission could be a very important instrument in designing a program."
