The new six-part series, “The Arc of Justice,” is a special production of the Sanford School of Public Policy’s “Ways & Means” podcast that premiered March 3. It is done in collaboration with Duke economist Dr. William Darity and folklorist and arts consultant Kirsten Mullen and takes inspiration from their new book “From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century,” co-authored by Duke economist William “Sandy” Darity, Jr. and folklorist and arts consultant Kirsten Mullen.
