President-elect Joe Biden has tapped a prominent advocate of reparations for his Treasury transition team.
Mehrsa Baradaran, a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law and author of the book The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap, has joined Biden's transition.
In tweets unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon, Baradaran watched then-Democratic candidates sidestep the issue.
"Dear Kamala, Reparations or go home," Baradaran tweeted in 2019.
