An organization called the Boston People's Reparations Commission, led by members of some of the black Christian churches in the city, want what they call "white" churches to pay reparations to blacks in Boston.
"Many of the well-known white churches in downtown Boston are connected to the slave trade and the proliferation of what was a 'slavetocracy' in our city," Reverend Kevin Peterson, the organization's founder, recently told WHDH.
