Much of the discussion about reparations to the descendents of Africans enslaved in America, has focused on (1) the redistribution to blacks that portion of national income which was diverted from blacks to whites due to slavery and post-Emancipation racial discrimination; and (2) restitution for the unpaid labor of enslaved ancestors. Brown (1972) discusses how the legal constraints put on a slaves investment in human capital would not have allowed the first generation of freedmen to achieve equality with whites. He suggests some may consider the payment for unpaid slave wages up to the date of Emancipation and the expectation that blacks would be the equals of the free population the day after Emancipation as double counting. However, those of this school of thought have failed to take into consideration the time necessary for the investment in human capital to mature. Brown explains
