I guess not many came afterward because there was segregation until a little over 50 years ago which didn't make the US very desirable for black people to come and live.
Slaves and their descendants aren't the only thing we owe reparations for, though. How many black veterans were denied the same privileges of the GI Bill? How many anti-black policies have prevented black people from getting loans, buying property, or doing many of the same things white people were allowed to. I always see people talk about 'descendants of slaves'. But many people were affected by racist policies enacted by our government, long after slavery ended.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
