Lineage is the New Black

Looking Black Is Not Enough!

Our mission is to educate and inspire through authentic American history. Lineage is the New Black aligns with our commitment to truth by advocating for lineage-based reparations, grounding the case in legal precedent and history, ensuring justice for descendants of U.S. chattel slavery. This video supports our mission and legislative efforts.

Lineage Is the New Black” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a declaration forged in the trenches of the modern reparations fight. This video reflects the hard lessons we’ve learned and the clarity we’ve earned. Across the country, reparations efforts are stalling—not because the need isn’t urgent, but because the focus is wrong. When lineage gets replaced by race, our claim loses legal standing, moral clarity, and historical truth. This film draws the line with precision. Lineage-based reparations are grounded in law, rooted in history, and owed to a specific group: Descendants of U.S. Chattel Slavery. Reparations were never meant to be a diversity initiative—they’re about repair for a uniquely American harm. This video lays out why race-based frameworks fail, and how immigrant inclusion—while important in other fights—has diluted and derailed our specific claim. It’s not about exclusion. It’s about getting it right. This is a call to all grassroots organizers, justice-seekers, and policy advocates: Stay rooted in lineage. Because if we get this wrong, we lose everything.
