A nonprofit organization supporting the Black community in Kentucky said they received a "six-figure reparations payment" from a white American who recently discovered her ancestor enslaved people in the area. Andreana Bridges, an administrative associate at Change Today, Change Tomorrow, a Black-led 501(c)(3) based in Louisville, told ABC News on Tuesday that the donor would like to remain anonymous and wished for the money to be looked at "as a reparations payment, not a donation." The organization did not wish to disclose the exact amount it received as part of the payment, just that it was "six figures." Organizers with the group say they hope this payment will inspire other white Americans to take similar action.
