Debt Without End: The Case for Reparations in the United States

By: Blackman, Darius

Debt Without End is not an appeal. It is a record.

This book lays out the case for reparations in the United States with precision, tracing the full scope of harm from chattel slavery through the systems that followed-Black Codes, convict leasing, land theft, redlining, and federal policy that systematically restricted Black wealth while building the nation itself. It challenges the myths that have long been used to dismiss reparations, exposing how selective history, distorted statistics, and incomplete narratives have shaped public understanding.

Drawing from historical records, legal precedent, economic data, and the words of those who lived through and fought against these systems, this work establishes one central truth: the debt was never settled. It was deferred.

More than a recounting of injustice, Debt Without End is a structured argument-one that connects past to present, loss to accumulation, and policy to outcome. It makes clear that reparations is not a question of possibility, but of consistency. Not a matter of charity, but of obligation.

The question is no longer whether the case exists.

The question is what will be done with it.
