The Case for Reparations

Ground-breaking article from the US in which Coates argues for reparations to be paid to the African American community for legalised discrimination and the systemic extraction of wealth from them, which he argues continued beyond the emancipation of slaves in 1865.

The history of British art is also the history of empire and genocide, written by collectors who traded in landscapes and lives.'
