https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/146b9d17-03fc-4ed3-a155-5331ad778afb Over the past decade, reparations have shifted from a fringe issue championed by Black nationalists to a mainstream topic in Democratic and nonprofit circles. In Baltimore, Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle (LBS) has advanced a reparations agenda rooted in Black community control, challenging assumptions of the broader movement. LBS Director of Research, Lawrence Grandpre, interviews Director of Public Policy, Dayvon Love, about his Nonprofit Quarterly article advocating for reparations centered on building Black institutional capacity and political power, inspired by John Henrik Clarke’s concept of “nation management.” Dayvon connects this approach to LBS’s work using cannabis tax revenue in Maryland to pursue reparations for the War on Drugs. They critique the national focus on cash payments and nonprofit-led efforts, arguing these reflect both racist fears of Black public money management and an internalized belief that Black advancement requires white validation. This stance, they assert, contradicts the Black nationalist reparations tradition aimed at transferring power to Black communities. Finally, they highlight political victories in Baltimore as evidence that Black communities can achieve meaningful reparations without sacrificing community control. #InSearchOfBlackPower Support the show: https://lbsbaltimore.com/sustain WEBSITE: https://blkliberationmedia.org PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/blackliberationmedia INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/blackliberationmedia TWITTER/X: https://x.com/BLM_edia FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/BlkLiberationMedia DISCORD: https://discord.gg/TDP9a4f5Ez Thu, 09 Apr 2026 15:18:48 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/146b9d17-03fc-4ed3-a155-5331ad778afb All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
