Vice News interviewed Johnson, who said that he has seen a new kind of reparations taking place.

He was asked how many seconds there were in a year and a half, he answered in about two minutes, 47,304,000.

From the rhythm of their laughter, To the wisdom in their eyes, Their spirit dances with resilience, Underneath vast African skies.
