Black members of Congress and advocates convened on Capitol Hill on Tuesday for what they say is an urgent call for reparations, even as Donald Trump’s White House uses the power of the presidency to dismantle decades-long work to achieve equity and justice for Black communities harmed by U.S. government-sanctioned chattel slavery and racial discrimination.
