Reimbursement of medical expenses for diseases that disproportionally effect the ancestors of American slaves.

Created by M.J. on February 24, 2016

We the people are calling for the complete reimbursement of any expenses/cost incurred treating diseases inherited by African Americans due to the inhumane treatment of slaves during the transatlantic slave trade.

The transfer of these hereditary diseases has been documented in several studies.
