We cannot trace back an accumulation of assets from a presentday black family to the time that they. their parents or their ancestors were brought here in chains from Africa. We certainly cannot jump the ocean and go to some country where they had an opportunity to bring some of their wealth from their country. from their family. with them when they came. It might have just been no more than a suitcase. Many immigrants came to America. all they had was a suitcase with clothing. meager belongings. and a few valuables maybe that were passed down. But that suitcase was far more than any slave arriving on a slave ship had. I assure my colleagues.
