Panhandling for Reparations!

Damali Ayo, author of How to Rent a Negro, hits the streets of New York City panhandling for reparations from white people. The money she collects she then distributes to black people.

This ten-minute video on Youtube is an interesting experiment and potential discussion jump off on the topic of reparations.
