History is chock-full of evil. I can't think of a more backwards idea than holding a pity circus where people try to convince authorities that the evil vested upon their ancestors in particular means that they deserve reparations today. Fortunately, you don't need a pity circus to figure out who needs help today and going forward. IMO that's not only a less incendiary angle from which to approach the problem, it's much easier to correctly implement, much more productive, and much less prone to back-and-forth escalation.
