"Racism and discrimination have choked economic opportunity for African Americans
at nearly every turn. In 'From Here to Equality, ' William Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten
Mullen confront these injustices head-on and make the most comprehensive case to date
for economic reparations for U.S. descendants of slavery. After opening the book with
a stark assessment of the intergenerational effects of white supremacy on black economic
well-being, Darity and Mullen look to both the past and the present to measure the
inequalities borne of slavery. Using innovative methods that link monetary values
to historical wrongs, they next assess the literal and figurative costs of justice
denied in the 155 years since the end of the Civil War. Finally, Darity and Mullen
offer a detailed roadmap for an effective reparations program, including a substantial
payment to each documented U.S. black descendant of slavery. Taken individually, any
one of the three eras of injustice outlined by Darity and Mullen--slavery, Jim Crow,
and modern-day discrimination--makes a powerful case for black reparations"
