Federal judge dismisses reparations suit CHICAGO (AP) — An the District Court level most

effort by slave descendants to gain reparations from corporations that allegedly benefited from slavery was dismissed last week by a federal judge. Judge Charles R. Norgle characterized the issue as basically political, and said it shouldbe decided by the legislative or executive branch. He added that the plaintiffs have failed to show a link between themselves and the 17 corporations named as defendants, and that the statute of limitations rules out damages for wrongs committed before slavery was abolished in 1868.
