Boston religious leaders call on 'white churches' to pay $15 billion in reparations to black residents for owning slaves
The Daily Mail recently reported that religious leaders in Boston have called on "white churches" to give millions of dollars in reparations to the black community throughout the city. The absurd proposition includes white churches providing $15 billion in reparations for their historical role in the slave trade.
The event took place at Resurrection Lutheran Church and was put together by the Boston Peoples Reparations Commission, which was the group responsible for demanding $15 billion.
One of the speakers who appeared at the event was Reverend Kevin Peterson. Peterson reportedly wants to rename Faneuil Hall marketplace, named after wealthy merchant Peter Faneuil, who was a prominent slave trafficker in the 18th century.
"We call sincerely and with a heart filled with faith and Christian love for our white churches to join us and not be silent around this issue of racism and slavery and commit to reparations," Peterson said.
