Repatriation has been a common issue in the United States which goes back to the history of slavery. Tai Coates article in the Atlantic has given a detailed account on how the issues of repatriation has been done over the years and the key legal and institutional changes that have been made to give authenticity to the repatriation processes. The issue of compensation for those willing to be repatriated has been an arguable case by several scholars. However, in my view, repatriation done voluntarily should be compensated as these slaves and especially the black community underwent suffering and many of them were disconnected from their families. Compensation helps them to connect and reconstruct their lives with their families. One of the key organizations that have been handling and tackling the issues of the repatriation of the African community is N’COBRA. This paper gives some key sources that can be used to explore the aims and objectives of this organization.

The article identifies that N’COBRA is a group formed in 1987 to advocate for all the former slaves to receive reparations from the individuals and US corporations who benefitted from misusing them for labor. The author states in recognition of the N’COBRA top leadership “Founders of N’COBRA include National Conference of Black Lawyers, The New Afrikan People’s Organization, and the Republic of New Afrika” (Tate, 2013). Over the years the group has grown and has members across the other continents. The author identifies that the reparations are necessary also because of the injuries and the lifelong effect that slavery and forced labor has had on subsequent generations of the black race. These reparations can take various forms from land to monetary resources. The article further notes that in addition to the reparations the movement also seeks to get an apology from the “white” community on the injustices they perpetrated on the black African Americans.
The article is significant in the research as it provides insight on the establishment of the group and its goals and objectives. It shares on different circumstances that many black people in the US have suffered from and after the abolishment of slavery. It also breaks down the various forms of reparations which are not only subjected to monetary aspect.
