Trymaine Lee, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Michael Harriot in Conversation: On Reparations

May 29, 2024


Join award-winning experts on the topic of reparations for an important and insightful conversation that examines the issue: Pulitzer and Emmy Award winner Trymaine Lee, host of the new Into America MSNBC series, Uncounted Millions: The Power of Reparations interviews Nikole Hannah-Jones, New York Times Magazine reporter and creator of The 1619 Project, which became a #1 bestselling book and is now a Hulu original documentary, and Michael Harriot, columnist at theGrio.com and the author of the New York Times bestseller Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America.

In Uncounted Millions, Lee follows the little-known story of one of the only Black people to receive reparations, and the mark it left on that family for generations to come, allowing them to access the wealth, education, and political affluence often denied to Black communities. So as the debate on reparations heats up across the U.S., including here in New York, Lee, Hannah-Jones, and Harriot ask: can Black Americans ever be full citizens without reparations?
