No. Never. There’s too much politics and animosity. —Julius Tolbert, Writer, Roxbury
No, I don’t think so. I don’t think the government sees it as an important issue. —Brother Lo, Executive Director, Dorchester
No, because most people in power don’t feel like black people are owed reparations. —Ant Thomas, Artist, Roxbury
No. I think the government is still in denial that there’s a problem. Racism is so implicit. —Alicia Mooltrey, Community Organizer, Roxbury
