Major Issues Press Room Biography Judiciary ... Site Index Major Issues - Reparations Statements from April 6, 2005 briefing: The Impact of Slavery on African Americans Today The Commission to Study Reparations Proposals for African American Act: In January of 1989, I first introduced the bill H.R. 40, Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act . I have re-introduced HR 40 every Congress since 1989, and will continue to do so until it's passed into law. One of the biggest challenges in discussing the issue of reparations in a political context is deciding how to have a national discussion without allowing the issue to polarize our party or our nation. The approach that I have advocated for over a decade has been for the federal government to undertake an official study of the impact of slavery on the social, political and economic life of our nation. Over 4 million Africans and their descendants were enslaved in the United States and its colonies from 1619 to 1865, and as a result, the United States was able to begin its grand place as the most prosperous country in the free world. It is un-controverted that African slaves were not compensated for their labor. More unclear however, is what the effects and remnants of this relationship have had on African-Americans and our nation from the time of emancipation through today.

107. From Slavery To Freedom - 50th Anniversary Symposium A conversation on the implications of From slavery to Freedom for understanding Association for the Study of African American Life and History http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/franklin/symposium.html

A Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration September 22, 1997, marked the 50th anniversary of the publication of John Hope Franklin's From Slavery to Freedom . Currently in its seventh edition and co-authored by Alfred A. Moss, Jr., this book, more than any other, has reshaped the way African-American history is understood and taught. Now translated into five languagesChinese, French, German, Japanese, and Portugese, From Slavery to Freedom has served and continues to serve as the primary textbook for African-American history. Since writing this seminal text, John Hope Franklin has become one of the world's most celebrated historians. September 19-20, 1997, The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History Duke University , and North Carolina Central University co-sponsored a 50th anniversary symposium and banquet to honor and celebrate this historic occasion. DEDICATION This program is dedicated to Mrs. Aurelia Whittington Franklin. It was through her encouragement and support that John Hope Franklin was able to complete the book, From Slavery to Freedom . In 1945, while teaching at North Carolina College for Negroes (now North Carolina Central University), Dr. Franklin was commissioned by Alfred A. Knopf to write a survey text on Negro history. With an advance of $500, Dr. Franklin set out to research and write the book. Having soon exhausted the resources available in the libraries in the Raleigh-Durham area, he found it necessary to spend several months researching at the Library of Congress. His wife Aurelia, then a law librarian at North Carolina College for Negroes, provided the financial support for Dr. Franklin to complete his research and writing. He affectionately refers to this as a contribution from "the Aurelia Franklin Foundation."
