    Descendent of Slavery says that she received her reparations, and it changed the course of their lives.

    I bet you that it did change the course of their lives. That's why the government doesn't want to pay.
    Descendant Of Slavery Says Her Family Received Reparations, And It Changed The Course Of Their Lives
    https://www.msn.com
    “I have very strong feelings when it comes to reparations, because my family received a form of reparations,” says Patrice. Patrice says her great-great-grandmother, Florence, was born enslaved to a white slave owner father six months before the emancipation proclamation. She says that when Florence got married, her father helped her buy 40 acres of land in Hazlehurst, MS. “My family got reparations from my great-great-great grandfather Ephraim Payton Jr.,” Patrice says. “This property has been passed down, and it has remained in my family for over four generations … The land that we’ve inherited has kept my family together through generations, which is not typical for a lot of Black American families. Without this property, my family wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.” Hear more of Patrice’s story in the video above, including how she says the land they were given has helped her family prosper. On Tuesday’s episode of Dr. Phil, "'Should We Allow Reparations to Black Americans?'" Dr. Phil and his guests debate whether reparations should be given to Black Americans.

    Generational wealth is something a lot of us lacked in our community. This example is not reparations because the government didn't give them that land.
