VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Democratic 2020 Presidential Candidate Marianne Williamson: Why I Support Reparations For Descendants Of Slaves

Democratic 2020 presidential contender Marianne Williamson has been vocal about her support for paying reparations to descendants of slaves, an issue that has been increasingly discussed given the extremely tense state of race relations in the United States.

The 67-year-old author and spiritual self-help guru — known for New York Times best-selling books like The Age of Miracles and A Return to Love — discussed her views on reparations for African-American slave descendants exclusively with uPolitics. Williamson said she believes one of the main reasons there hasn’t been as much of a push for reparations as there should be is because of a lack of information and education among the American public about the history of slavery and racism in the country.
