As an alternative to Reparations, we Descendants of Slaves, hence forth referred to as African-Americans, (an ethnic group whose origin began with the slave trade in America), need a Bureau of African-American Affairs whose main objective is to measure and improve the Social, Economic, and Health conditions of members of this ethnic group in all aspects of the American Society. This Bureau could be established as a governmental agency, within the Department of the Interior, have an African-American as commissioner, and structured somewhat like that of the 'Bureau of Indian Affairs'; offices should be located in Washington D.C. with satellite offices occupying space in every state of the union with accessible offices in Towns and County's all over American when deemed necessary. This Bureau will eventually provide compensation in Lieu of Reparations to members of this ethnic group.
