The debate over reparations for slavery continues to spark intense discussions globally. Dr. Lenworth W. Johnson, a prominent advocate and member of the Antigua and Barbuda Reparations Support Commission (ABRSC), argues that reparations are not only a moral imperative but also a practical and achievable solution to address the atrocities committed during the transatlantic slave trade. While many view reparations as an unattainable dream, Dr. Johnson challenges this perspective by highlighting historical precedents where other groups have received compensation for injustices. Examples include Germany’s payments to Israel for the Holocaust, the US’s reparations to Japanese Americans, and settlements with Native American tribes and Indigenous peoples in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. These cases demonstrate that reparations are not unprecedented. The Caricom Reparations Commission (CRC) has proposed a comprehensive framework focusing on developmental initiatives rather than direct cash payments. These include formal apologies, cultural rehabilitation, public health improvements, education, and debt cancellation. Critics argue that slavery was legal at the time and that descendants of enslavers should not bear responsibility for historical crimes. However, Dr. Johnson counters that slavery, particularly chattel slavery, was never legal under international law and that its legacy continues to affect descendants today. He also emphasizes that calls for reparations have persisted since emancipation, with movements like the Haitian Revolution and Pan-Africanism advocating for justice. The global momentum for reparations is growing, as evidenced by recent international conferences and UN resolutions. Dr. Johnson remains optimistic that justice will prevail, asserting that reparations are not just a moral obligation but a necessary step toward reconciliation and healing.
