New Episode Now Streaming: A Critical Conversation on Reparations


A new episode featuring Arthur Watkins is now available on YouTube, continuing an important national conversation on reparations through an institutional and economic lens.


In this episode, Arthur Watkins joins First Things First to discuss how structured governance, business principles, and verified status frameworks can move reparations from rhetoric to implementation. The conversation focuses on sustainability, accountability, and why institution-building matters when addressing generational harm.


Rather than approaching reparations as a symbolic or purely political demand, the discussion centers on operational reality—how systems are built, how beneficiaries are protected, and how long-term outcomes are secured. This episode speaks directly to those who are tired of circular debates and want to understand what real infrastructure looks like.


For TikTok viewers who have followed the conversation in short clips, this full episode provides the context, depth, and clarity that short-form content cannot capture. It is a direct invitation to engage with the full framework, not just the headlines.


This episode is now live on YouTube and available for immediate viewing.
