Founding Director William A. “Sandy” Darity, Jr., economist and professor of public policy at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy, was featured in ABC News’s coverage of the national debate over reparations and the rise of the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) movement.

In the article, Darity notes the unprecedented nature of the current moment in political discourse:
