15:06Now PlayingThe white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend came after thousands of neoNazis, Ku Klux Klan members and other white nationalists descended on Charlottesville to protest the city’s plan to remove a Confederate statue of Robert E. Lee. The effort to remove this statue was spurred in part by the AfricanAmerican city ViceMayor Wes Bellamy, who convinced his fellow city councilmembers not only to vote to remove the statue, but also to create a "reparations fund" for Charlottesville’s AfricanAmerican residents. For more, we speak with awardwinning author and writer TaNehisi Coates, who in 2014 penned the influential piece for The Atlantic, "The Case for Reparations."
