Article Review Topic: Reparations for Black Communities through Educational ReformLipman, P. (2017). The landscape of education reform in Chicago: Neoliberalismmeets a grassroots movement.Education Policy Analysis Archives,25, 54-54.Lipman (2017) calls for systemic reform of public schools as part of reparations for social/racial injustice visited upon the black community. The main focus of the article is that Chicagos neoliberal education policy is racialized state violence against the black community, and that education is the primary field in which reparations need to begin to be made.The authors conclusions appear to follow logically from the premises and appear to be validly supported by the evidence. The evidence in this case consists of literature and data collected over the course of two decades on Chicagos education policy and how it detrimentally affects black neighborhoods. The evidence does seem to point to a need for reform in the education policy of the city.My thoughts on the article are that education reform is still very much a hot-button issue in the United States, especially in light of the recent protests against police brutality and systemic racism. One proposed solution is to provide reparations to black communities through education reform. This article examines the landscape of education reform…
…I have been looking at different proposals for how reparations could be implemented. I believe that there is a strong case to be made for using education reform as a vehicle for reparations. Education reform could help to address some of the educational disparities that currently exist between black and white students. It could also provide opportunities for black students to learn about their history and culture, and to receive support in achieving their educational goals. I believe that education reform is a promising area of research on this topic, and I will continue to explore it in my work.

Racial Equality and Justice
Racial injustice is a part of American history. In spite of legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, racial injustice remains rampant in the United States. Police brutality is one of the most visible areas in which racial injustice manifests itself. The murder of George Floyd was only one of many similar instances, the majority of which go unreported due to the “blue wall of silence” in police culture.
