As Providence, R.I., gears up to provide reparations to Black residents, officials are looking to atone for what happened during urban renewal efforts of the late 20th century. The approach builds off the blueprint in Evanston.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Terrell Osborne knows well what happens when urban renewal comes to communities of color.
As Providence gears up to provide reparations to Black residents for centuries of injustices, city officials are looking beyond the city’s leading role in the Colonial transatlantic slave trade. By making progress on such modern day wrongs, communities can hopefully start to overcome longstanding resistance to reparations, says Justin Hansford, a professor at Howard University’s law school who spearheads the African American Redress Network, which tracks reparations efforts nationwide.
In Providence, centuries of discrimination have left communities of color far poorer than white enclaves: Median household income on the affluent, largely white East Side is in the city’s predominantly Black and Latino South Side.
