 "I think there has to be some form of reparations, and we can discuss what that is. But look, we're looking at more than 200 years of slavery. We're looking at almost 100 years of Jim Crow. We're looking at legalized segregation and - and in fact, segregation on so many levels that exists today based on race. And there has not been any kind of intervention done understanding the harm and the damage that occurred to correct course," Kamala Harris told The Root in a 2019 interview.

"What kind of resources are we going to put in communities to help folks heal and be on an equal footing?"

According to a PBS account on Harris and reparations, “Harris has proposed monthly payments to qualified citizens of any race in the form of a tax credit.”

Since July 21, the Big Three evening newscasts haven’t said a word about Harris’s past support for reparations. According to a recent MRC poll, 71% of the Democrats and Independents were unsure or completely unaware of her position on the issue.
