The conversation this week is our ongoing look at being Black in Connecticut. My guest is 29-year-old Bridgeport resident Avery Tillery. Avery says many of the problems in the Black community can be solved through reparations. And he believes reparations are needed in all areas of the Black community where, he says, inequality has led to such wrongs as children working to help pay bills. He also talks about how the image of Black men as violent is distorted and how difficult it is for Black men to earn a living, even doing simple things like shoveling snow.
