Lincoln Black Media • Nebraska and beyond
Reparations.
Restore. Return.
A Black-led media and advocacy platform confronting historic theft, restoring civic power, and reconnecting descendants with identity, culture, and homeland.
Three demands. One continuing struggle.
Repair must address material loss. Restoration must return power. Return must reconnect people divided from ancestry and homeland.
01 — Reparations
Document the harm, measure its present consequences, and pursue restitution through legislation, public policy, lawful claims, and community investment.
02 — Restore
Restore voting rights, civic standing, fair taxation, accountable representation, and equal access to the institutions shaped by Black contributions.
03 — Return
Reconnect descendants with African identity, language, culture, and homeland—including the Mende people of Sierra Leone—through education and lawful advocacy.
Coalition for Tax Accountability and Black Representation
Taxes are power. Representation is a right.
CTABR investigates fiscal inequity, organizes affected communities, and advances evidence-based reform involving tax assessments, public investment, civil-rights restoration, and Black representation.
Research that can be used.
Lincoln Black Media translates legislation, court decisions, tax policy, voting-rights developments, and Black history into clear public information. The goal is not only to describe injustice, but to equip people to act.
