| Interview with Edgar Villanueva, author of Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance. We discuss the 7 steps he outlines for the foundation industry to lead the reparations movement by “Decolonizing Wealth.” These steps acknowledge and address the fact that the source of U.S. wealth is stolen land, labor and bodies from Native and African Americans. All organizations and individuals interested in moving money toward economic justice can follow these steps. |
