Decendent's of slaves are accusing more firms of profiting from slavery, and have filed suit against them. The lawsuits filed yesterday in New York and San Francisco, contend that companies should "pay reparations for reaping profits on the backs of people who worked without pay." The article doesn't mention how former slaves should collect this back pay. Surely, the decendents of slaves don't hope to profit from the evils of slavery by collecting that money themselves.
