  • This a great short film that makes plain a complex issue rooted in the past and resonates with us today.

  • I am absolutely speechless! This is reparations 101and should be seen by all individuals mis-educated on the subject.

  • A short and succinct film that accurately and truthfully gives a history lesson, a synopsis of why African-Americans are deserving of reparations. So if you didn't know, now you know!

    Know your history -- “For coloured people to acquire learning in this country, makes tyrants quake and tremble on their sandy foundation. Why, what’s the matter? Why, they know that their infernal deeds of cruelty will be known to the world.” David Walker, Slavery Abolitionist & Writer 1829
    From David Walker’s Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World

    Much respect to Leslie Brown and Third World Newsreel.

  • Leslie Brown has captured the essence of today's Reparations Movement for people of African descent in the United States. The continuing resistance; the denial of history; the ongoing slights and indignities... it's all here in the struggle to force corporations to reveal their roles in the oppression of African people. This short film, documenting real-world activism, is worthy of our utmost attention and study. Spread the word!!

  • This film has made the reparations issue absolutely clear to me. I was on the fence regarding the issue of reparations, but after viewing this film, I've landed on the side of support of the action.

  • Excellent video...Good primer for an issue that is bound to gather momentum over the next few months. Quality footage such as this can only help to inform discussion about the inevitablity of recompensation.Are there any more arguments left NOT to pay reparations?

  • I'm glad that this media production is now available for all. Surely, to those of us who do read, this is old news esp. re: NY. Corporations should be held accountable for their past vices b/c they continue them today beleiving that they have gotten away with evil. Outsourcing corporations, including Wachovia, Aetna, Lloyds of London, Walmart, Target, Wallstreet, etc. all of them will continue to worship profit over humanity if they are never held accountable for labor in which they did/do not pay! I am hopeful that this video will be mass produced so that everyone can see the madness that continues in the corporate world at the expense of human survival. Everyone, please support the African enslavement disclosure law as you have supported our fellow human groups who have received reparations in this country.

  • The question of resitution is a vital one for our country and should not be seen as tangential to anything. Indeed, Untold Legacy makes a strong case for both corporate and federal accountability for the instiution of racial slavery. This short makes me eager to see more and to know more about the reparations movement. Kudos Ms. Brown!

  • After watching this video, I received a great deal of information that has made me change my mind about the fight for reparations. This video validates for me, why we should insist on reparations especially in Up South, NYC.

  • I agree with the position. Companies should comply, period. It takes an effort like this. How can I help?

  • I like everything that is talked about , but I also feel that it falls short of the real problem at hand. America has never considered the descendants of the victims of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade as human, let alone citizens of America. Civil Rights are yours if you are a citizen of a Nation. Afrodescendant people in America can not and should not ask for Civil Rights, when it is our Human Rights that have been confiscated, with no thought or thoughts of being returned by the regime that has taken them.
