DESCRIPTION:Chairman Omali Yeshitela presents his new book “The Verdict Is In: 
 Reparations Now!”, a collection of testimonies delivered at the first 
 World Tribunal on Reparations for African People, held in 1982 in Brooklyn, 
 New York. For the next 40+ years, the Reparations Tribunal convenors, led 
 by African People’s Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela, have 
 incorporated the reparations demand into Black community struggles against 
 police violence, unjust imprisonment, denial of decent housing and 
 healthcare, poor education and for Black Power around the world. \n\nToday, 
 the results of that effort can be seen in state and municipal reparations 
 bills and programs throughout the U.S. as well as new reparations studies 
 and demands from African activists and heads of state internationally. At 
 the same time, Chairman Yeshitela has been indicted by the U.S. government 
 in 2023 on widely-denounced federal charges of acting as a Russian agent 
 for his work advocating for Black reparations. The Verdict Is In: 
 Reparations Now! sheds light on an early effort to investigate and document 
 the legitimacy and legal basis for the reparations demand, while exposing 
 the fallacy of the U.S. government’s charges of a Russian influence as 
 instigator of the movement for Black reparations. \n\n
