Religious leaders in Boston demand ‘white churches’ give millions in reparations to black residents for owning slaves – and want the city to pay $15 billion

Religious leaders in Boston have demanded ‘white churches’ give millions of dollars in reparations to the city’s black community.

The activist clergy also called on them to back a push for the City of Boston to pay $15 billion in reparations for its historical role in the slave trade.

The event at Resurrection Lutheran Church was organized by the Boston People’s Reparations Commission, which made the $15 billion demand.

One of the speakers was Reverend Kevin Peterson, who wants to rename Faneuil Hall marketplace due to Peter Faneuil, the wealthy merchant who built it, being a prominent slave trafficker in the 1700s.

‘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,’ he said.
