#3: Creation of Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans
Delta Sigma Theta urges Congress to address the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 by establishing a commission to do the following: study the institution of slavery and consider a national apology; develop a proposal for reparations to address slavery's subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African Americans and the impact of these forces on living African Americans; and to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies among other purposes.
